How to Choose a Temecula Primary Care Physician
Getting the right healthcare for you and your family is important. You want a provider who you can trust; one that is invested in your health and wellbeing.
Here’s what you should consider when choosing a Temecula primary care provider:
Ask for Recommendations
The first thing you should do when looking for a new primary care provider is ask your friends and family for recommendations. Your friends and family know you best, and can give you a good referral based on your needs. Ask them what they like about their provider and why they think you would be a good fit.
Do an Online Search
You can learn a lot about not only your primary care provider, but also the clinic that they work in, by doing a google search. You’ll find lots of reviews from real patients that can help you determine whether or not the doctor will be a good fit for you. Temecula Medical Group has nearly 500 reviews and a 4.9 star rating!
Review your Insurance Coverage
If you have insurance, it is important to figure out if the doctor you want to see is in-network. Most insurance plans have doctors that they prefer to work with, and offer a lower rate to incentivize you to go to them. These doctors are considered “in-network.” Review your healthcare plan to determine which doctors are part of your network. This will help you save money and keep you from lots of billing issues down the road.
If you don’t have insurance, it is important to find an affordable self-pay option so that you can receive care, even if you’re not enrolled in an insurance plan.
Temecula Medical Group offers a self-pay plan with a Concierge Membership. If you’re interested in learning more about this program, meet with a provider for a free consultation to go over details.
Schedule an Appointment
The best way to know if a primary care provider is right for you is to go for a visit. You’ll be able to determine if you like the environment, if you like the doctor’s bedside manner, and if you will be in good hands. If you visit a provider and don’t have a great experience, don’t settle. Continue to ask around and do research until you find one that you like.
