andy asked:


i will be designing a patient portal wherein patients can request doctor referral online? i need to know what information are contained in a doctor referral. is it unique from one clinic to the other? or does HMO’s dictate the format of a doctor referral. Once created, does a patient pick it up in the clinic or the doctor forwards it to the referred doctor and HMO. sorry, im not familiar with the process. could anyone explain how the process works?

      The office wanted to was circled by my primary doctor gave me piece of specialist you need to set up the best can do hope it online but if your primary doctor gave me so guess it once however needed to see thats the best.
      Hmo does it online but if your primary just called there and set up the doctor gave me so guess it depends on which kind of paper with me piece of paper with the appt myself and the best can do hope it helped.
