A member asked:
If students are on their parents medical insurance as an adult, do they have to keep the same primary physician?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: You can choose any physician you want. You might want to stick to a list of physicians covered by your insurance but legally, you have the right to choose any physician you want. You don't have to use any of the physicians other family members on the same policy use.
