Your Child's Personal Doctor or Nurse
The next questions ask about your child's health care. Do not include care your child got when he or she stayed overnight in a hospital. Do not include the times your child went for dental care visits.
4. A personal doctor or nurse is the health provider who knows your child best. This can be a general doctor, a specialist doctor, a nurse practitioner, or a physician assistant. When your child joined this health plan or at any time since then, did he or she get a new personal doctor or nurse?
