Do I Need A Formal Referral From A Physician?
Some insurance plans require formal referrals to be submitted prior to a specialist appointment. Unfortunately, our office cannot guarantee which providers are "in network" with your insurance. Please contact the specialist office and/or your insurance company to confirm their participation with your plan and if any referral is needed.
To request a referral, please log on to the Patient Portal and "Create a Message" to provide the require information, including:
- Name of Provider/Office- Address- Phone Number- Appointment Date- Appointment Reason.
We cannot provide a referral without first having seen the patient for the related condition. Referrals must be requested at least 48 hours (2 full business days) prior to the specialist appointment. Referrals cannot be backdated. Completion of a referral does not guarantee coverage.
Please call the office at 703.938.5555 Option 1 with any questions.
