Understanding your network
Getting care should be simple. Learn how your health plan works — and how to find the care you need.
Find a doctor near you
Use our online tool to find doctors, hospitals, and care centers in your plan.
The role of your primary care provider (PCP)
A PCP is your main doctor. They will get to know you and your health history, and can:
- Give you yearly checkups, like your Annual Wellness Visit
- Help you stay up to date on screenings and vaccines
- Answer your health questions
- Help manage ongoing health conditions
- Guide you to the right specialists when needed
Seeing your PCP regularly can help find health issues early and keep you on track with preventive care.
Do I need to choose a PCP?
With an AmeriHealth Medicare PPO plan, you are not required to select a PCP — but it is a good idea.
A PCP gets to know your health history and helps coordinate your care. They can also help you decide when to see a specialist.
Save money with in-network care
You can choose a PCP in or out of our network.
- In-network PCPs usually cost less
- They also make it easier to get covered services
