Community believes that every Member should have a medical home, which is the place you go for regular health care. This is your Primary Care Provider.
Your Primary Care Provider treats you when you are sick and gives you regular checkups.
Your Primary Care Provider keeps all of your medical history in one place and gets to know you over time, which means that you receive consistent treatment.
Your Primary Care Provider can be any one of these:
- Health clinic
- Pediatrician
(for children and adolescents) - Family doctor
- General practice doctor
- Internal medicine doctor
- Advanced Nurse Practitioner (ANP)
If you did not have a Primary Care Provider before you joined Community, we will assign you to one when you enroll with us. We choose the Primary Care Provider based on where you live, or you can search for and choose your own Primary Care Provider from the Community Health Choice network through your online Member Account or by calling Member Services toll-free at 1.888.760.2600.
Once you have chosen your Primary Care Provider, we will send you a Member ID card with your Provider’s name. Your Provider change will be effective on the first of the next month. Create a Member account by going to our Web site, CommunityHealthChoice.org. Click on Member login, and follow the prompts.
