FAQ: Primary Care at MIT Health's Lexington Care Center

Convenience: Our patients constantly tell us how much they love the ease and convenience of getting their healthcare “right up the hill.” There’s no need to miss half a day of work for a medical appointment when your primary care provider is just a short walk away. 

Facility size: MIT Health’s Lexington Care Center is small enough to provide caring, individualized service, but you also have access to a wide array of specialty services — at MIT Health’s campus Care Center or throughout the Blue Cross Blue Shield network. 

Access to the top hospitals: MIT Health clinicians have close affiliations with world-class hospitals in the Boston area, but with an MIT-sponsored health insurance plan, you can choose to be treated in any hospital in the extensive BCBS network. 

Lower copayments, or none at all: If you’re covered by the BCBS PPO+ Plan, you’ll have no copayments for routine office visits at MIT Health in Lexington or Cambridge, compared with $15 copays at other in-network facilities. You’ll have a $10 copayment to go to Urgent Care or see a specialist at our campus Care Center, compared with $30 copays for other in-network urgent care centers or specialists.
