Who can be your PCP?

Your PCP can be whoever you consider your “home-base” for your health. This can be your family practice doctor, a physician’s assistant (PA), nurse practitioner (NP), OB/GYN, or a pediatrician for children. If you don’t already have a PCP.

If you have any other questions about how to get preventive care, contact our Member Services Team, or visit the Bright HealthCare Member Hub.

As a reminder, you have access to any provider in the Bright HealthCare network. You’re not required to choose a PCP, but we do encourage you to pick one to be your healthcare quarterback.
