How to Find a Physician
- 1). Go to the website listed on the medical insurance identification card.
- 2). Locate the doctor look-up, physician finder or provider directory tool on the website.
- 3). Enter the information requested. This may include ZIP code, name of medical plan or network (listed on the medical identification card), type of doctor and other criteria.
- 4). Review results and narrow the list of possible doctors based on personal priorities (for example, the doctor's background, office location, languages spoken, hospital affiliations, credentials, etc.).
- 5). Meet the doctor to ensure personal requirements, such as whether the doctor takes time to answer questions, are fulfilled.
