The primary gatekeepers are primary physicians. They decide which patients will have access to expensive tests, treatment and specialist referrals. Although some may say that each individual is the gatekeeper to their own health because if you don't like the response you are getting from your primary physician, you can change physicians, go to a clinic, call telehealth for advice, call your physician's governing body (College of Surgeons and Physicians), etc. If you know there is something wrong with your body and you are not getting results, you are your own best advocate!

Nurse Practitioners see the same patients that physicians see. They can specialize in certain fields, but they cannot perform surgery (though they can assist). They can perform minor procedures (suturing, lancing, etc). In some states, they cannot be the primary care for a practice. They must work under a doctor. In other states, they can open an independent practice. Our Level One Trauma Center even has an ARNP in the ER for minor care treatment. They often handle clinic patients or round on patients that have been admitted by physicians in their practice.
