Just got approved for Medicaid, questions

I got approved for Medicaid, chose Fidelis, and my coverage starts 1/1/26, and I asked if I had to go to something like urgent care if it’d cover it and she gave me a CIN number that I would give since she said I’m covered 3 months before my coverage officially starts. I always forget to ask more questions just due to my anxiety but I did ask if I had to go to an urgent care I just give the CIN number. So is that what I’d do, just say I’m gonna be covered on 1/1/26 but have a CIN number? Also would I be able to set up a PCP right now even though I don’t have my card until January? Sorry for the questions, it’s my first time on my own insurance so I’m just trying to get some more info that I should’ve asked over the phone lol.
