Referrals, Consultations & Appointments
When a patient's condition requires the expertise of a specialist, we want to make it easy for you to connect with one of our 1,500 physicians.
You can arrange for a referral / appointment for one of your patients in three ways:
- Call our MD Access Call Center (see sidebar)
- Contact the physician's office directly
- Fill out our online Referral Request Form (surgical only)
MD Access Call Center
Our MD Access Call Center was created to expedite the referral and appointment process.
We can quickly direct you to the physician with whom you wish to speak, as well as facilitate consultations and second opinions. If you're unsure of which physician to contact, the agent can identify physicians with the expertise you seek and handle the logistics of contacting them for you. We can identify physicians by:
- Specialty
- Gender
- Procedures
- Hospital affiliations
- Office location
- Languages spoken
Contacting a Physician's Office Directly
If you don't know the number for the physician you wish to contact, call our MD Access Call Center (at the number listed in the box above) and we will contact you. A new Physician and Service Directory will be available soon, both online and in hard copy. Check back to view it or sign up now to receive a hard copy through the mail.
