Referrals
If the doctor has given you a referral, it is
important to follow these steps:
1. Call the specialist physician to set up your appointment and make sure that physician is on your insurance plan.
2. Inform your insurance to see if they will "cover" the service from that particular physician or hospital and to see if you need a referral authorization form from us.
3. Call our office with the appointment date so that we can write you a referral if your insurance requires it.
It's very important to follow all the steps above, insurance companies are notorious for looking for "loopholes" to not have to pay for services. Take notes when you talk to your insurance company.
Please note that all this has to be done well before the service to guarantee coverage.
