Choosing the right primary care provider (PCP) is an important decision. As your life changes and your health needs do too, a good health care provider will grow with you.
Kalispell Regional Healthcare is proud to offer many options when it comes to family medicine. With primary care services offered around the Flathead Valley, we have you covered from Eureka to Polson. Most of our primary care clinics offer services for the entire family – from senior-specific needs to pediatrics. Other services offered include laboratory services, radiology and x-rays, ultrasound imaging, sports medicine, routine physicals, women’s health and gynecological services, prescription refills and certain special procedures. Select locations in the KRH family of clinics offer urgent care hours and walk-in availability.
In the event you are in need of medical advice that doesn’t quite require a trip to the emergency room, or it’s 3 a.m. and you just want to be sure about something, consider our virtual clinic services with
KRH Care Anywhere. You can talk with a board-certified medical professional on your computer, tablet or smartphone to help support some basic health care needs.
Tips for selecting a primary care provider
Your primary care physician is a medical provider that will likely oversee the health and wellness of you and your family for the long-term. A PCP tends to common medical problems, but should also look out for your overall health – recommending screenings, making referrals, encouraging healthy habits and much more. It’s important that you develop a trusting, ongoing relationship with a health care provider that can meet your general medical needs and who can steer you to specialists or other medical resources when needed.
If you don’t currently have a designated PCP, here are a few suggestions to find the right fit. A little bit of homework goes a long way for this important professional relationship.
- Search your health plan network. Look up providers in your health plan’s network. Because you will likely see your PCP often, using a doctor within your plan’s network will save you money. Plus, it may be easier to locate somebody close by.
- Consider medical background. Note that some providers are board-certified in a field of medicine. This means that they have completed training in a specialty and passed an exam that assesses their knowledge and skill in a particular area, such as diabetes or pediatrics.
- Get referrals. Talk to friends, neighbors and relatives and see if they can refer you to a quality doctor. Nothing is more reliable than the experiences of people similar to you.
