CMS Pub. 100-11, ch. 5, § 20.4
Primary Care Physician
A Primary Care Physician (PCP) is qualified to perform primary care including basic
Gynecological (GYN) services, but the PCP is not a ‘‘qualified specialist for women’s
health services.’’ Although female participants may choose their PCP for basic GYN
services, if a participant requests a GYN specialist or the participant requires more
complex GYN services, the participant must be provided a GYN specialist and, when
possible, be provided a choice of GYN specialists.
