Frequently Asked Questions
Can a Nurse Practitioner be my Primary Care Provider (PCP)?
Absolutely! Nurse Practitioners can serve as your Primary Care Providers (PCPs). In Maryland, Certified Registered Nurse Practitioners (CRNPs) are authorized to practice independently without physician oversight. This recognition aligns with research indicating that CRNPs deliver care that is equal to or superior to that provided by physicians in primary care settings.
As CRNP’s, we are skilled in assessing, evaluating, and diagnosing disease processes, prescribing medications when indicated, interpreting laboratory results and other tests, and performing outpatient procedures within the scope of our training. For complex cases requiring a specialist, we make referrals to specialists and therapies appropriately for further management.
