Is a primary care physician what we would call a family doctor or general practitioner (GP) in the UK? In Norway an employed adult will pay about 240 NOK (about 22 USD) to visit their family doctor (allmennlege). I'm not sure what the rules are for the unemployed but I'm sure they pay less, children (under 18s), full time students, and pregnant women pay nothing. Median income is about 55 kNOK/month.

I don't normally have to wait unless I turn up at the surgery without an appointment. If the previous appointments run over I sometimes have to wait but rarely ore than half an hour.

Yes a PCP is what family doctors or GPS are elsewhere.
