What is a primary care physician (PCP)?
A primary care physician (PCP) is the first doctor people go to when they feel sick or need a check-up.

A PCP also keeps track of a person’s overall health and can refer them to a specialist if more specific care is needed.
What’s the difference between a primary care physician (PCP) and a specialist?
The main difference between a PCP and a specialist is the kind of health conditions they treat. PCPs care for people of all ages and treat a wide range of health issues, from the common cold to sports injuries. They also focus on preventive care, such as vaccines to prevent illnesses or screenings to catch diseases before they become serious.
Specialists, on the other hand, have advanced training in a specific area of medicine like cardiology (heart health) or neurology (brain health). There are many kinds of specialists on MediFind, each with their own focus. When needed, PCPs will help patients understand when they need to see a specialist.

Pediatricians, for example, are PCPs who work with children, while geriatricians are PCPs who work with older adults.
Why do people have a primary care physician?
People have a primary care physician to help keep them healthy and to have a doctor they can go to for most of their health needs.

That’s why it’s helpful for patients to maintain long-term relationships with their PCPs if possible.
Why does my health insurance require me to see a primary care physician?

A PCP can also decide if a patient needs to see a specialist, which helps avoid unnecessary tests and treatments, keeping healthcare costs down.
What is the first thing a doctor does when seeing a patient?

When should I visit a Nurse Practitioner (NP) vs. a Doctor (MD)?
