Your Health Care Team
CountyCare provides a coordinated team of health care professionals to support you in living a healthy lifestyle. Your health care team includes your primary care provider (PCP), specialty providers, care coordinators, pharmacists, and most importantly, you.
Every CountyCare member has an assigned primary care provider (PCP). Your PCP is your personal doctor. The name and contact information for your PCP is printed on your member ID card.
You should see your assigned PCP for all routine care and screenings. Unless it’s an emergency, you should call your PCP first when you are sick.
If you would like to change the PCP listed on your Member ID Card, you can do so at any time. To find a new PCP or change your current one, go to the Member Portal or call Member Services at 312-864-8200.
A specialist is a doctor who cares for certain health conditions. For example, a cardiologist is a doctor who specializes in heart health.
With CountyCare, you do not need a referral to see a specialist, but your PCP will advise if you need a specialist and recommend a doctor. If you need behavioral health services, you do not need a referral when seeing a CountyCare provider.
If a member would like to request a specialist as their PCP, they should request that the specialist complete, sign, and submit this form to CountyCare. The member can reach out to their care coordinator if additional assistance is needed.
You will be assigned a care coordinator when you become a member. Care coordinators connect you with services to keep you healthy. Your care coordinator can answer questions about your care and help you:
- Navigate getting health care
- Consider your choices
- Find a specialist
- Maximize your benefits
- Coordinate your transition out of the hospital
- Connect you with community resources
What you tell your care coordinator is confidential. It is shared only when needed to help plan your personalized care. You can find out who your care coordinator is by calling Member Services at 312-864-8200 / 855-444-1661 (toll-free) / 711 (TDD/TTY).
