Change in Primary Care Physician

A change in primary physician may be approved upon the member’s written request to the Medically Indigent Program. This change will take effect on the first day of the following month. If the selected primary care physician is not available, the member may see another physician who has signed an agreement with the Medically Indigent Program, but must obtain a statement that the member’s primary physician was not available on a certain date and time.
