Changing Your Primary Care Provider is Easy

Changing Your Primary Care Provider is Easy

For years, people have believed changing their primary care provider (PCP) is like pulling teeth—a long, frustrating, and painful process. But that stigma couldn’t be farther from the truth. We want to put your worries at ease and show you just how simple and stress-free changing your PCP can be.

Myth #1: It’s too difficult to change my PCP
Realty: Most health plans will allow to you change your PCP anytime—as many times as you need.

Common ways to change your PCP:

  • A few quick clicks through your insurance portal or app.
  • Calling the customer service number on the back of your insurance card.

Most changes are completed within 10-20 minutes. At Gloria Gates CARE, we can personally walk you through changing over the phone so you’re not left confused.

Myth #2: I’ll have to transfer all of my medical records
Reality: Your new provider will handle this for you.

At Gloria Gates CARE, we request your records directly from your previous provider. All you do is sign a release of information form and we’d do the rest.

  • No chasing paperwork.
  • No printing records.
  • No stress.

Myth #3: There will be a gap in my care
Reality: Changing providers is designed to be seamless.

At Gloria Gates CARE, we can coordinate upcoming appointments and ongoing treatments if needed. Your first appointment is an hour long to make sure we understand your past history and any ongoing issues you have currently. We want you to make uniformed decisions regarding your CARE.

Myth #4: I’ll hurt my current doctor’s feelings
Realty: Providers understand that you just want the best CARE possible.

Healthcare is personal, and you deserve to feel heard, support and comfortable. That’s why many people make the change to Gloria Gates CARE.
