Schedule your annual well-visit with your primary care doctor
Your primary care doctor will provide your preventive and general care, keep track of your medical history and help you choose a specialist when you need one. Now that you have a new Medicare plan, it’s a great time to schedule your annual well-visit with your doctor.
You can verify that your primary care physician (PCP) is correct, and select a new one if necessary, in your hap.org account or by calling customer service. While PPO members are not required to have a PCP, we encourage all members to build a relationship with a primary care physician.
You can also:
- Find other doctors, specialists and facilities that accept your HAP Medicare Plan - HAP Primary Choice and HAP Choice Medicare require a PCP referral for a specialist visit. All other plans do not require referrals.
- Search for participating pharmacies - Many of our plans include a $0 copay for Tier 1 prescriptions when purchased at a Preferred pharmacy. You can use this tool to find both preferred or standard pharmacies.
Log in to your hap.org account for a personalized ‘Find a Doctor’ search based on your plan.

Pay your premium
You’ll receive an invoice from HAP to confirm your enrollment. Most members receive invoices monthly.
If you have a $0 Medicare Advantage plan, you will receive the first invoice and no subsequent invoices unless requested or if you have additional charges. Additional charges may include:
- Optional dental coverage premium
- a late enrollment penalty: You may be required to pay a late enrollment penalty if you did not join a Medicare plan or have credible coverage when you became eligible. You will have to continue to pay this penalty, even if you change plans or health insurance carriers.
There are three ways you can pay your plan premium.
- Pay by check
- Register at hap.org/welcome and click “Pay My Bill” where you can view your invoice and make a onetime payment or set-up recurring payments
- Have your plan premium taken out of your monthly Social Security check
