Primary Care FAQs

Will I have to choose a primary care provider to use CloseKnit?

You do not need to choose a Primary Care Provider (PCP) at CloseKnit to use our clinical services. However, if you decide to choose us as your PCP, you will be paired up with a provider licensed in your area and will have full access to a dedicated Care Team, including free messaging.

What if I already have a primary care provider?

If you already have a PCP, you can still access our clinical services (such as immediate care), and we can keep your PCP informed of the care we provide—if you’d like.

How far ahead can I schedule primary care appointments?

Visits can be scheduled up to thirteen months in advance.

What if I need in-person care?

If you’re in need of in-person or specialty care, your Care Team will refer you to a local provider who specializes in the area of need—such as heart conditions, joint care, etc. You may also be referred to see a CloseKnit provider in one of our physical locations, if available in your area.

What if I need lab work?

If lab work is needed before, or following, your visit, your provider will arrange getting an order sent to a facility near you.

Will I be able to get prescriptions written/refilled at my preferred pharmacy?

Yes. We can help you order, refill, transition to mail order, find coupons and more.

How do I pay for my primary care visit?

We will bill your insurance company for your visit and if you have any cost sharing such as a copay, we will charge your credit card or health savings account after your visit. Payments can be made with a credit or debit card, including HSA cards if applicable.
