Responsibilities of primary care physicians (PCP)

Effective 1/1/2008, Blue Medicare HMO and Blue Medicare PPO members have the freedom to choose in-network providers and specialists without a referral. Members are still expected to select a primary care physician (PCP). Members are encouraged to visit their PCP before seeing a specialist. In this way, Blue Medicare HMO and Blue Medicare PPO PCPs are still able to coordinate generally for the overall care management for their patients.
