04
Will the primary physician need to be changed?
No. Your primary physician will go on as before and remain intact. We are required, however, to have a physician visit our patients in order to prescribe treatment. If you feel more comfortable and at ease with your own primary doctor, we will communicate with he/she to schedule a visit and prescribe the plan of care. If it makes no difference, we have our own home physician who will visit and start the plan of care.
