In Plans That Require the Primary Care Physician (PCP) to Play

In plans that require the primary care physician (PCP) to play a gatekeeper role, the PCP is given incentives to:
A)expand office hours and/or staff to permit more patients to be seen each day.
B)make frequent referrals to contracted network specialists.
C)see as many patients each day as possible, even if this means less time with each patient.
D)treat the patient as much as possible and not refer him/her to a specialist unless absolutely necessary.
