Direct Access to Obstetrical/Gynecological Care

  • You may seek care for your female child directly (without a referral from the primary care physician) from a Keystone participating obstetrician or gynecologist for preventive care, routine obstetrical/gynecological care, covered routine maternity care or problem-related obstetrical/gynecological conditions.
  • This does not include specialty care provided by a reproductive endocrinologist, infertility specialist, or gynecological oncologist. In order to have benefits for specialty services related to reproductive endocrinology/infertility and gynecological oncology, a referral from the primary care physician is required. In addition, care provided by any specialist other than a participating obstetrician or gynecologist requires a referral from the primary care physician.
