    Review List

    This review list is provided to inform you about the document in question and assist you in its
    preparation. Your physician is on your side and frustrated with the paperwork related to getting
    referrals—even more than you are. So be a comrade in arms here.

    Most physicians’ offices now have faxes to send referral requests to. The more information you
    can send on your first request the profitable your account is and the less frustrated their staff will
    be with you. Therefore, get it right the first time and they will be on your side on a regular basis,
    especially if it is a small practice when they get to “know” the people (i.e., the “good” ones, the
    “bad” ones, the “crazy” ones, and so on and so on). You want to get on the “good” list. It will
    help you fight Insurance denial of claims and on and on.

    If you do not know of a specialist, change the letter to reflect that. No need for a file; just keep
    the information paper clipped together in an open file and mark your calendar to call them in a
    few days if they haven’t responded. If you have a fax machine at home, request them to fax
    back their response. This saves them time, money, and the pressure of a phone call. Emails
    are ok for some things; but in the document business, faxes work better, as a rule. If your
    doctor prefers email communication, though, use it.

    Tip: Next time you are in the office, thank them for their help on referrals and ask your Doc how
    he or she likes to be communicated with on this and other matters. Few ask; you will stand out
    by doing so. You will also be able to give the Doc a little well deserved therapy as they
    complain about the process.
