The Primary Care Physician Sample Clauses

The Primary Care Physician. The PCP coordinates a Member's medical care, as appropriate, either by providing treatment or by issuing Referrals to direct the Member to another Participating Provider. The PCP can also order lab tests and x-rays, prescribe medicines or therapies, and arrange hospitalization. Except in a Medical Emergency or for certain direct access Specialist benefits as described in this Certificate, only those services which are provided by or referred by a Member’s PCP will be covered. Covered Benefits are described in the Covered Benefits section of this Certificate. It is a Member’s responsibility to consult with the PCP in all matters regarding the Member’s medical care. Certain PCP offices are affiliated with integrated delivery systems or other provider groups (i.e., Independent Practice Associations and Physician-Hospital Organizations), and Members who select these PCPs will generally be referred to Specialists and Hospitals within that system or group. However, if the group does not include a Provider qualified to meet the Member’s medical needs, the Member may request to have services provided by nonaffiliated Providers. In certain situations where a Member requires ongoing care from a Specialist, the Member may receive a standing Referral to such Specialist. Please refer to the Covered Benefits section of this Certificate for details. If the Member’s PCP performs, suggests, or recommends a Member for a course of treatment that includes services that are not Covered Benefits, the entire cost of any such non-covered services will be the Member’s responsibility.
