Do I need to see my primary care doctor before I see a specialist?

Yes, your primary care physician is trained to treat most medical conditions.

Referrals to Specialists:
Should you need to see a specialist, your primary care physician will refer you to the specialist who will address your specific healthcare need. You do not need a referral from your primary care physician for routine OB/GYN care.

Services that Require Prior Authorization:
Your primary care and/or specialist is responsible for submitting his/her own prior authorization request.
