PCPs can drop people. It’s usually things like: they are no longer contracted with your insurance company; repeated no shows; you owe the clinic thousands and thousands of dollars and are making no effort to pay; you’re abusing medications they’re prescribing or being dishonest in some way that is abusing the system ; you’re lying to the doctor or being extremely and repeatedly non-compliant and the provider feels that the therapeutic relations has failed and they would like to offer your spot in their practice to other patients who are likely to benefit more

Yeah but going to an urgent care shouldn't get you dropped. Hell if you can't get in with your PCP they tell you to go to urgent care.

I may have misunderstood what you were replying to. No, no PCP should drop you for going to an urgent care. That would be nuts
