How do you choose a provider? That may depend on your age, family needs, your general health status and insurance coverage. Consider what’s important to you like, location and convenience, your health goals and lifestyle, and provider gender, languages spoken or additional expertise.

Your health insurance company may select a primary care provider for you when you set up your coverage. If you change your provider, you’ll want to make sure your provider is in-network and accepted by your insurance plan. It’s also a good time to check with your insurance to understand your coverage for preventive care, wellness visits, lab orders and routine screenings.

Preventive visits and screenings can help you manage your health goals, keep you healthy and catch developing issues early. The earlier an issue is caught, the faster your provider can act on a treatment plan, which may reduce your health care costs in the long run.
