Many insurance companies require that a referral be completed prior to having specialty care provided, i.e.: seeing a specialist physician, having x-rays or other diagnostic testing done, etc. Please be aware that this may be a requirement of your insurance company. If the referral is not obtained from the insurance company, the patient will be responsible for the full balance of all incurred charges.

Richmond Pediatrics has staff at both offices that obtain these referrals from the insurance companies for you should our providers feel that additional medical care is necessary for your child. You are responsible for setting up the appointment with the specialist.

Once you have an appointment, please contact our referral staff so that they can proceed with obtaining the referral. You can either call our office or complete the referral form and submit to us on-line. Depending on your insurance, some referrals can be directly sent by us to the specialist.

We require two-business days notice to your appointment time in order to obtain the referral.
