Choosing Your New Memorial Primary Care Provider

Establishing care with a primary care provider (PCP) at Memorial Primary Care is the beginning of a long-term relationship. Your PCP will manage all your healthcare needs, getting to know you as a person and partnering with you for your well-being.

How to Change or Choose a New Doctor

It’s easy to change or choose a new PCP, but it can take time, depending on how quickly your insurance company processes the change. Follow these steps:

1. Make sure Memorial accepts your insurance: Look at our covered insurance plans so you can find a doctor that is in-network.
2. Choose an available doctor at a location convenient to you: Explore our primary care provider profiles or use online scheduling to see a list of the first available providers at your location of choice.
3. Report your new doctor to your insurance provider, if required: Call your insurance plan to see if you need to inform them of your new provider.
4. Make your first appointment: Call 954-276-5552 to schedule an appointment with your new doctor or schedule online.
