Patients with plans requiring referrals
Many patients with Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) or Point of Service (POS) health plans require a referral from their primary care physician (PCP) to access our services. For patients with HMO or POS health plans, the referral process is often essential to ensure their care is covered and well-coordinated. We work closely with PCPs to facilitate this process, ensuring that patients receive timely and effective preventive care for their cardiometabolic health. By obtaining referrals from their PCPs, these patients can seamlessly integrate our specialized services into their overall healthcare plan, enhancing their outcomes and preventing serious health issues.
Referral Details
If your patient needs a referral, it is important to follow the referral process described by your patient’s health plan. The referral submission and approval process (if applicable) often varies by insurance carrier. Failure to adhere to the health plan’s referral process may cause insurance coverage issues and claims denials. Your patient’s health plan likely has instructions similar to the instructions described by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas as shown below:
