How to Find the Blue Shield Primary Care Physician ID Number

When enrolling in a Blue Shield of California (Blue Shield) HMO plan for the first time, you will need to provide the ID number of your Primary Care Physician (PCP), if you would like to retain your existing Blue Shield PCP.  If you choose not to elect a PCP, Blue Shield will find one for you.
