I've never had insurance that requires a PCP. But if I did, i'd be sure to have a PCP. It's not that complicated.
Even if you wanted to go the One Medical route, that means you pay Amazon $200, and choose a PCP. So essentially nothing in your circumstances have changed. I don't believe One Medical, or any other virtual doctor service will give you referrals that will be accepted by your insurance.
Your insurance will still require a PCP. Your PCP might or might not be accepting virtual appointments. In One Medical they do not. The virtual appointments are done by nurses who don't work in the One Medical offices

There's such a shortage of doctors in my part of the US (a medium-large metro area) that there are literally none accepting new patients. I know four people who have been actively looking for a PCP for more than two years now.
