Hello,
I recently moved to a new city and needed to assign a pcp using Anthem website. I choose one i found with a great rating and i called them to make an appoint and let them know i picked their doctor as my pcp. However, they responded that they are fully booked so unable to accommodate me. This occurred 2 more times with another doctors.
My questions are:
Do I actually need to an assigned pcp? Can I just make an appointment with any available Family Medicine doctor and get basic check-ups + referral for a pt or chriopractor? Lastly, how long does a referral usually last (in case I want to change to a different physical therapist after a visit or two…)
This is the first time i picked PPO and I am looking to actively take advantage of my health insurance to its full extent (until now, I only just used vision and dental…).
Thank you
PS.
