Frequently Asked Questions

Coordination of care with a specialist involves managing your healthcare across multiple providers. We ensure your medical records, test results, and treatment plans are shared and aligned with specialists to provide consistent, informed care from diagnosis through treatment and recovery.

What Is Coordination of Care With a Specialist?

You may need a specialist referral if your condition requires expertise beyond primary care. This can include chronic illnesses, complex diagnoses, or specific treatments like cardiology, dermatology, or orthopedics. Our team identifies these needs and refers you to trusted professionals.

When Would I Need a Specialist Referral?

Most insurance plans cover specialist referrals, especially when coordinated through a primary care provider. We verify your insurance coverage and requirements before making any referrals, helping you avoid surprise costs and ensuring a smooth, authorized transition to specialty care.

Does Insurance Cover Specialist Referrals?

We use secure, HIPAA-compliant systems to share your medical records, lab results, and treatment history with specialists. This ensures they have all necessary information before your appointment, and we also receive updates from them to maintain continuity of care.

How Do You Share My Information With Specialists?

Yes. Our office staff assists with booking specialist appointments that match your schedule and medical needs. We coordinate directly with the specialist’s office, ensuring the appointment is confirmed, all documents are submitted, and you’re fully prepared for your visit.

Can You Help With Scheduling Specialist Appointments?

After your specialist visit, we request all related reports and recommendations. Our providers review this information and integrate it into your care plan. If additional follow-up or treatment is needed, we’ll work with you and your specialist to make sure nothing is missed.
