You do not need a referral, unless your insurance company requires you to have a referral. If your insurance is a HMO/managed care plan and you are required to obtain a referral from your primary care physician, the referral must be obtained before you can be seen for an office visit.
We do accept self-referred patients with cardiovascular concerns. To enhance your appointment time with the cardiologist(s), we require you to obtain your past medical records and bring them to your appointment.
