You must also select a PCP within the selected medical group/IPA for each person to be covered. You may choose a different medical group/IPA for each person. Care
received from a woman’s principal health care provider (WPHCP) may be eligible for coverage without referrals from your PCP. However, your PCP and your WPHCP must
be affiliated with or employed by your medical group/IPA in order for each person to be eligible for coverage. Until we receive your selected medical group/IPA, you may not
be eligible and your claims may be denied. Be sure to enter the medical group/IPA number, name, PCP number and name.
