Stuck at Specialist’s Office Without a Referral? Telehealth Can Help

Arriving at a specialist appointment only to discover you lack a referral can be frustrating. Rescheduling delays your care.

But there’s a solution! Telehealth services like Teldoc offer a convenient way to connect with a qualified doctor quickly, even without a pre-existing referral.

Here’s how telehealth benefits patients at a specialist’s office:

• Fast Access: Connect with a doctor within 15 minutes via secure video chat or phone call, avoiding lengthy appointment delays.
• Expert Evaluation: Telehealth doctors assess your situation, provide initial treatment advice, and determine if a referral to the specialist is necessary.
• Seamless Specialist Referral: If a referral is needed, telehealth doctors can send it electronically directly to the specialist you’re currently at, saving you time and hassle.
• Reduced Stress: Address your concerns promptly, minimising the frustration of a wasted visit and ensuring you receive the care you need.

Don’t let a missing referral disrupt your healthcare journey. Telehealth helps you navigate the system efficiently.

Here’s what to do:

1. Inquire about Telehealth: Ask the specialist’s office staff if they partner with any telehealth services for last-minute situations.
2. Direct Connection: If telehealth isn’t offered directly, download a telehealth app or visit a telehealth website to connect with a doctor.
3. Brief Explanation: Briefly explain your situation and the specialist you’d like a referral to (if applicable).
