CUMC Referrals and
Other Information
Your patient's access to referrals is dependent on his/her
insurance status. For patients with Medicaid or managed care plans, make sure
that the referrals site accepts your patients' plan before proceeding. Some Medicaid
managed care programs may have their own set of referral rules, and
occasionally a company-specific referral form may need to be completed. The
following is a list of referral resources at CUMC and in the immediate
neighborhood (a work in progress, feel free to email with suggestions...)
If the patient needs to see
the consult urgently and your clerk is unable to schedule a timely appointment,
please page the consult physician on that particular service to facilitate a
quick out-patient work up.
Clinic
patient representatives (PFA) will call to schedule appointments for all hospital
clinics and testing. On your progress note, write what clinic or test you
are referring the patient to, and attach the proper referral forms (I usually
circle that plan to make sure PFAs see it).
Please see specific instructions below.
