Work with the care team on selecting a primary care physician of your choosing within the medical home.
Actively participate in your care. You are the most important member of the medical home team.
Understand you are a partner in your own health care.
Learn about your condition and what you can do to stay as healthy as possible.
As best you can, follow the care plan you and your medical team have agreed is important for your health.
Communicate with Your Medical Home Team
If you don’t understand something your doctor or other member of your medical home team says, ask them to explain it in a different way.
If you get care from other health professionals (such as a second opinion, specialist not currently working with your PCP, or emergent care), always tell your medical home team so they can help coordinate for the best care possible.
Talk openly with your care team about your experience in getting care from the medical home so they can keep providing you the best care.
