Where to Go for Care

It's important to know where to go for the type of medical care you may need.

Comparing your options is the best way to get care that’s right for you and your budget.

When you need care, call your primary care provider (PCP) or family doctor first.

Your PCP has easy access to your records, knows the bigger picture of your health, and may offer same-day appointments. If your PCP isn't available, it's important to know you still have other options.
