Are you sure? Why not

Because psych is a specialty. Psychiatrists aren't primary medical providers for patients.

Primary care includes internal medicine, pediatrics, family practice, and I've sometimes seen OB/GYN included. The exact definition is debatable, but those are generally the included fields.
