Frequently Asked Questions About Primary Care in Atlanta
What is the difference between a physician and a primary care doctor?
A physician is any medical doctor (MD or DO), while a primary care doctor is a physician who specializes in primary care, typically in family medicine, internal medicine, or pediatrics. Primary care doctors manage your overall health, treat common conditions, coordinate specialist care, and build a long-term relationship with you. At Galileo, our primary care clinicians include physicians and nurse practitioners who provide the same comprehensive primary care services.
Does insurance cover primary care visits?
Many insurance plans cover primary care visits, though your specific coverage depends on your plan's benefits. Some plans cover preventive visits like annual wellness exams at no cost, while sick visits or chronic care management may require a copay or apply to your deductible. Galileo works with select insurance plans, and our team can help you understand your coverage before your visit.
How do I start seeing a primary care physician?
