Establishing Primary Care Doctor, does ACA require frequency of visits?
My grandfathered health insurance is being cancelled by the insurer.
My primary care facility is no longer accredited as a primary care doctor (they switched to urgent care only). So I've never had to shop for a primary care doctor since the ACA went into effect. Someone told me the new doctor will want a physical. Is that required before the doctor will see me for a sick visit?
My concern is since I don't take any prescriptions that I usually don't visit the doctor even once a year. If I establish a new primary care doctor going through all the physical exam tests and then don't need to go for a couple of years, will they drop me as a primary care patient? Does the ACA require me to visit a primary care doctor so many times like at least once a year or they won't recognize them as my primary care doctor (and thus won't let me pay the copay but make me pay the whole bill)?
