Referrals
Referrals are processed in the order of medical necessity and as timely as possible considering the requirements of your insurance company. We ask that if your child has a test, procedure or appointment that you call our office well in advance to provide sufficient time to process any required referrals or authorization.
Referrals generally require 3-5 business days to complete. If your child’s insurance requires an authorization, it may take 7-10 business days to obtain.
Please note, all information and reminders regarding your child’s referral will be sent via Patient Portal. If you do not have access to the Patient Portal, please call our office so we can assist in setting it up.
The preferred method of communication with our Referral Coordinator is through the Patient Portal. To expedite your request, please send a message through the Patient Portal and refrain from leaving a voice message. To send a message to the Referral Coordinator: Log onto the Patient Portal, click messages, then referral request.
