Guide to Healthcare Services

Your Primary Care Provider is an important part of your healthcare team.

Your doctor will:

Make sure your child gets the care they need, like regular checkups
Treat your child when they are sick
Track everything about your child’s past and present healthcare. Make sure they have all of your child’s medical records. You need to sign a form giving permission.
Make referrals to other doctors, if needed

You can pick any doctor in the Community network as your Primary Care Provider. You should pick a doctor with an office location and office hours that are convenient for you. If you like the Primary Care Provider that you see now, you can continue to see them if they are listed in Community’s Network directory. To find a doctor online, click on the “Find a Doctor” box below. You can also call Member Services at 1.888.760.2600, and we will find you at least three doctors in your area to choose from. Once you have picked a doctor call Member Services. We will assign that doctor to you. We will also mail you a Member ID card with your new doctor information.

Urgent and After-Hours Care

Urgent care centers provide treatment when you have an injury or illness that requires immediate care, but it is not serious enough to go to the emergency room. You should go to an urgent care center, if your doctor is not available.

Urgent care centers provide care for the following:

Earaches
Minor/common infections (e.g. strep throat)
Minor cuts
Sprains/strains
Minor broken bones
Minor burns

They are open after regular doctor office hours. Walk-ins are welcome, but wait times may vary.

Emergency Room

Emergency rooms provide immediate treatment of life-threatening conditions. If you have severe symptoms or believe your condition is life threatening, you should go to the emergency room or call 9-1-1.

Emergency rooms are open 24/7; however, wait times may be longer because patients with life-threatening emergencies will be treated first.
