Do I need a referral to see a specialist?

In most cases, a referral is required to see a specialist at Healthpoint. Referrals are generally obtained from your primary care physician or healthcare provider. This process ensures that you receive appropriate care and that the specialist you are referred to has the expertise to address your specific health condition. However, there may be some exceptions where a direct appointment with a specialist can be made without a referral. For example, if you need immediate attention or have an emergency situation, you may be able to see a specialist without a referral. Additionally, some insurance plans or specific specialists may have their own policies regarding referrals. It is always best to check with your healthcare provider or insurance company to understand the specific requirements for seeing a specialist at Healthpoint.
