Your primary clinician can help you makehealth care decisions and can improve howyou manage your health care.
Your primary clinician is a health care provider — a doctor, physician assistant, nurse practitioner, or certified nurse specialist — who is responsible for coordinating your overall care, no matter where you choose to get health care services.
When you choose a primary clinician that participates in a Medicare model that aims to improve the quality and value of the care you receive, they get access to tools and services to better coordinate your care and improve your health.
Choose a Provider
You can choose any health care provider as your primary clinician — for example, your primary care doctor, nurse practitioner, or physician assistant.
Maintain Flexibility
You can still go to any health care provider who accepts Medicare, even after you choose a primary clinician.
Change Anytime
You can choose a different health care provider as your primary clinician at any time. Your primary clinician will remain the same unless you make the change.
