I think I’d be on the market for a PCP to be the hub for your treatment providers. They don’t know about all the specialty services but they should know who to hook you up with. I look for a good internist to serve as PCP.

I may be confused, but I think my HMO uses the term GP or General Practitioner for PCP. After my Oncologist/Hematologist responded to my email without concern for the MRI findings of AVN, I did email my GP telling him the background of the MRI, referenced this study https://mss-ijmsr.com/mri-spectrum-of-avascular-necrosis-of-femoral-head-in-patients-treated-for-covid-19/ and asked if he provide me with a referral to a specialist, such as an orthopedic surgeon or rheumatologist, to explore treatment options for AVN. From that study I'm pretty sure my AVN is stage 1 and is a result of steroid use.
I haven't heard anything back from my GP yet but I did get a letter informing me to schedule a PET scan appointment. I have no clue why my HMO now thinks I need a PET scan.
