Many of our patients belong to an HMO or PPO ("managed care plan"). It is your responsibility to be familiar with the insurance plan's requirements regarding referrals, emergency room visits and covered benefits. Most managed care plans require a patient be seen by their doctor. Contact your insurance representative or employee benefits office if you are unsure about these details.
When a referral is needed, please let us know in advance. If you see a specialist without first requesting a referral, you assume financial responsibility for the service. We do not issue referrals after the fact. Please fill out this form and someone will call or email you when your referral is ready. The average time for completion is 5 days.
