If you are planning to participate in Drake’s Health Plan during 2021, you must designate a Primary Care Provider (PCP) for yourself and all dependents enrolled in the plan. Each covered member may select a different PCP from Wellmark’s list of general or family practice physicians, internists, and pediatricians. Female members who wish to designate an obstetrician or gynecologist (OB/GYN) as a co-care provider must contact Wellmark Customer Service at 800-362-2230.

How to select a PCP:

Step one: Selecting a PCP consists of a two-step process.  First, you must obtain the required information from Wellmark’s website.  This brief video demonstrates how to search for a PCP, and locate his/her enrollment identification number and organization name.  If you already have a PCP, you may visit  wellmark.com/finder to determine whether he/she is a PCP in the Blue Choice Network.  Should you have questions about how to access information on the Wellmark website, call Wellmark Customer Service at 800-362-2230.

Step two: Once you have chosen a PCP, you must record his/her required information in the Benefits Portal.  This video demonstrates how to enter the information in the Benefits Portal. Instructions detailing this process can be found here. It is important to note co-care provider (OB/GYN) information cannot be entered in the Benefits Portal. To learn more about designating a PCP, see these frequently asked questions.
