I have an Open Access Insurance plan, why do I need a referral from a Thagard clinician?
There are two kinds of referrals: insurance referrals and clinical referrals. Your insurance may not require any paperwork done when you see a specialist but many specialty offices require a clinical referral. The clinical referral will tell the specialist why you need to be evaluated and treated. The specialists want to make sure that their office is the appropriate treatment choice. A Thagard clinician can evaluate your symptoms and order diagnostic tests that will give the specialist critical information about your medical condition.
