Will medicare allow me to have a cardiologist as my PCP?

Medicare typically requires beneficiaries to choose a primary care physician (PCP) who is designated as such, usually a general practitioner, family physician, or internist. While you can see a cardiologist for specialized care, they generally cannot serve as your PCP unless they are also certified in primary care. It's important to check with your Medicare plan for specific options and guidelines regarding provider designations.
