Find a Primary Care Physician

All HUGHP members must select a primary care physician (PCP). A PCP is trained to prevent, diagnose, and treat a broad array of illnesses and injuries in the general population. If you need a specialist, your PCP can refer you and share your background, including your condition and any previous treatment you may have had.

Beginning January 1, 2027, HUGHP is Expanding Its Adult Primary Care Provider Network

HUGHP’s adult primary care provider (PCP) network is expanding and will now include PCPs at Beth Israel Lahey Health locations throughout Massachusetts. This is in addition to the current Harvard University Health Services (HUHS) and Atrius Health locations.

Our adult primary care physician network includes Harvard University Health Services and all Atrius Health locations. This includes over 30 primary care physician locations throughout Eastern Massachusetts.

Before an appointment, make sure you:

  1. Call the provider's office to register as a new patient. Note: You and your family can choose primary care providers at different locations if you desire.
  2. Notify HUGHP Member Services of your selection prior to your appointment (if you select an HUHS PCP, Member Services will notify the HUHS PCP office of your selection automatically).

Without a PCP on file, your claims may not be processed, and you may be billed directly for your care.

HMO members must select a PCP at an in-network HUGHP network location.

POS and POS Plus members

  • For in-network care, members must select a PCP at an in-network HUGHP network location (HUHS or Atrius Health).
  • POS and POS Plus members can also select an out-of-network primary care physician or pediatrician, but will have higher out-of-pocket costs.
