Do CoxHealth specialists require a referral before an appointment can be made?
CoxHealth as a system does not require patients to be referred by their primary care physician to a specialist. However, many specialists do require a referral because of the complexity of the issues they treat. As a patient, you want to be sure that you are scheduling an appointment with a specialist that is best suited to address your health concerns. Your primary physician will be able to best decide what specialty physician meets your needs. This is the most efficient way to seek out a specialist and in most cases the referral can be handled by your physician’s office staff.
