What is a referral?
An insurance authorization/referral is a special kind of pre-approval that individual health plan members must obtain from their chosen primary care physician before seeing a specialist.
How to request an authorization/referral from your Primary Care Physician:
- Tell them what body part is hurting you
- Tell them you want to schedule an appointment with the doctor you wish to see at OSSM
- Ask them to fax a referral to our clinic(208) 684-1226.
Once we receive the insurance authorization/referral we will contact you to schedule your appointment. If you don’t hear from us after 1 week, please call back so we can follow up.
We look forward to providing quality comprehensive orthopedic care.
For questions or concerns please call 208-664-2175.
