Problems with PCP
We have been with PCP since Jan. I had some problems with my hands and wrists. Every step of the way had to be refered to PCP to be approved. As a result, the resolution to my problem took over 4 months, where it could have been resolved in one month or less. PCP is fine for people who don't need extensive diagnostic services. We were able to change to United Health Care Medicare Suplement (Plan F). It cost substantially more than PCP, but you do not need approval from the PCP to go see a specialist. Also you may want to see if PCP is "caping" your medical provider. This means if you use your dollar allotment as established by PCP for your physician, you will have to wait until next month to have any other services preformed. Things may change when United Healthcare takes over for PCP in 2014. Questions that you should have answers for so you can be sure what you are signing up for.
