Understanding the Specialist Referral Process
There are various reasons you may need to see a specialist after an acute or urgent medical illness or condition. A specialist referral is a written order to a doctor specializing in a particular medical area. It is typically written by your primary care provider, but in the instance that you require urgent medical care immediately, an urgent care provider may write a specialist referral for you after your visit. Referrals are a direct order processed through your insurance company to confirm that you require additional treatment outside of the scope of primary care.
Insurance and Cost Management
Most insurance companies require a referral before seeing a specialist, but the exact requirements are based on your specific insurance coverage. In most cases, HMO and POS plans require referrals before specialist visits, while PPO and EPO plans do not. Although referrals are not mandated for specialist treatment, they are the most cost-effective option for those who have medical insurance. Without a referral, the patient could be responsible for up to 100% of the cost for medical treatment at the specialist. Conversely, with a referral, you are typically only responsible for a copay and, possibly, a portion of the cost of your insurance deductible.
When You May Need a Specialist
No, not all treatment requires a visit to a specialist after your urgent care visit. In fact, many illnesses and conditions can be successfully treated at State Urgent Care without the need for follow-up care or treatment. However, some common issues often require a specialist visit, including:
- Severe allergies
- Heart trouble
- Broken or fractured bones
- Burns and Lacerations
- Skin conditions
- Sprains and strains
