Question 5

Can you provide referrals to specialists if needed?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we provide referrals to specialists when needed. The referral process can take anywhere from 48hrs to 7 days to complete and be verified with the external office.
It's important to note that the need for referrals can depend on your specific insurance plan. 
Some plans require a referral from a PCP for specialist visits, while others may allow self-referrals
Always check with your insurance provider to understand your plan's requirements regarding specialist referrals.

You can often choose the specialist you want to see, but your choice may be restricted by your insurance plan's network of providers. Some plans require you to select from in-network specialists to receive full coverage.
