Are you a traditional Medicare recipient? If so, we want to share some information about selecting your PCP through Voluntary alignment. To ensure that we get up-to-date information from your insurance on screening needs, cost of medications, and payment information, naming a PCP on your plan will help.
Voluntary Alignment is a process through Medicare.gov that allows you to select your primary clinician, the healthcare provider whom you believe to be responsible for coordinating your overall care. Selecting a primary clinician does not affect your benefits or limit your ability to receive care from any health care provider. Your selection will also have no effect on your Medicare Part A or Part B billing and payment policies. However, it will provide the clinician you select with additional information to allow for better coordination of your overall care.
To select your primary care provider in the CMS system, you can follow the instructions below:
How to select your Primary Clinician:
| 1. Go to Medicare.gov and log in to your account by entering your username and password. | 5. Options for primary clinicians based on the search fields you entered will display. Locate your primary clinician and click their name. Then click the Save to Favorites button. |
| 2. At the top of the home page, select Providers & Services and then click the Find Care Providers button. | 6. A new box will pop up to request additional information. At the top of the pop-up box, click the checkbox next to Make this my primary healthcare provider in my favorites. If the provider has multiple office locations, please select the location that you visit. Click Save to Favorites. |
| 3. Select Doctors & Clinicians. | 7. You will then see a pop-up box indicating your provider has been added to your favorites list. You can confirm by clicking View My Favorite Providers. Your favorites should now be updated with your primary clinician. |
| 4. Search for your primary clinician by filling out the following fields: Location: Type in their ZIP code, street, city, or state. Keywords (optional): You can type in your primary clinician’s name, practice name, or specialty. Click Search. |
