I’m an American and work in healthcare. “PCP” is a common way to abbreviate “primary care physician”. Generally, it is not said out loud that way, but it is often abbreviated in forms and documentation.
And yes, I giggle when I see it because I’m immature!
I’ve at least seen/read phrases “Primary Care” and “Primary Care Physician”, but I’ve never once heard of anyone using the acronym “PCP” for it. Not until this ccomment thread.
Asked a couple other people just now, they’d never heard it used either.
Not something ive ever heard an American say.
GP, physician, doctor. Never “PCP”.

PCP is an incredibly common term in the US.
Maybe it’s regional or something.
