Primary Care FAQs

What is the purpose of a primary care appointment?

A primary care provider is a patient’s first point of contact in the healthcare system. When seeing your primary care doctor, they can evaluate and treat various medical conditions. Depending on your needs, the primary care appointment can be geared toward managing chronic diseases, performing a sick visit check-up, performing a Medicare wellness visit, or evaluating the need for a specialist.

Many health insurance plans require a primary care doctor to provide a referral to see a specialist. Therefore, having a primary care doctor can improve your access to specialty medical care. During an appointment, the primary care providers at Complete Health can arrange appropriate screening tests and provide education for achieving a healthier lifestyle. Having a primary care provider has been associated with an improved quality of life and reduced overall cost of medical care.

How often should I visit my primary care physician for routine check-ups?

The frequency of visits to a primary care physician’s office depends on a few factors that need to be considered — age and health. For those under 50 and healthy, you may only need to visit the doctor’s office once every three years. For those who are 50 and older, it is recommended to see your primary care provider at least once a year. This once-a-year recommendation is also the minimum number of visits needed for those who take prescription medications.

For those with chronic medical conditions requiring frequent evaluations, such as diabetes, it is not uncommon to see your primary care physician every three months or sooner. The frequency of follow-up will be determined by your doctor and is often based on each person’s situation.

Is a primary care physician the same as a family physician?

Primary care provider is a broad term used to identify many different types of physicians who provide long-term care to patients. These providers include family physicians, internists, pediatricians, and obstetrics and gynecologists. In other words, a family physician is a primary care provider, but not all primary care providers are family physicians.

A family physician provides care to patients of all ages and genders. They are often trained in family medicine and can provide convenient care for the whole family.

What should I bring to my first primary care appointment?

Having a list of your current medications and vitamins/supplements, with the name, dosage, and frequency of each medication is important to help appropriately manage your care. Finally, create a list of questions you want to ask the doctor, this will ensure you make the most of your appointment and leave feeling satisfied that all your questions were answered.
