HOW DO I FIND A DOCTOR?

If you do not have a primary care physician, the first thing you should do is find a doctor that will accept your insurance. A reliable source in finding eligible physicians is:

To find a physician, select your health plan, insurance program, what kind of doctor you’d like to see, as well as your zip code, and it will pull up all of the providers in your area that match your requirements.

*NOTE This website only lists healthcare providers that accept Medicaid.

After you receive your list, the next step is to communicate with the doctor’s office. The easiest way to communicate is by calling the number listed and asking the receptionist if the doctor is taking any additional patients. Make sure you have all of the information below before you make the call.

New visits are usually scheduled several weeks in advance, so patients should call when they are healthy. Calling ahead will ensure that you will have a place to go when you need medical help.

Don’t get discouraged if a doctor is unable to accept you as a new patient, just move on to the next physician on the list.
