When is a referral necessary?
During your visit, a provider may feel a consult with an outside specialist is in the best interest of your child’s medical needs. Before starting the referral process, providers will discuss their plans and the treatment options available. After discussing the matter with you, our providers will have their support staff contact you and your insurance company to coordinate the recommended treatment services with the outside specialist(s).
