Medical referral addresses the patients to medical specialists, when special treatment is needed. Special organizations, such as Imer (International Medical Evaluation and Referral) connect between the patient and the specialist abroad. Medical referral service includes coordinating treatment in other countries, arranging the patients’ travel to another country and many other aspects coordinated by health service provider.
The medical referral system arranges meetings between the patient and a medical specialist in order to help diagnose the problem, to offer medical advice or second opinion about the problem, which means getting another view on the problem, and in order to arrange medical investigation when it is needed. Specialist or consultant will help diagnose the particular problem a patient may have, and offer advice on its management. Some referral services provide database of specialists for specific problems, to whom the patients can refer.
Doctoral referral and appointment is conducted, when a patient or the physician wish to get medical second opinion; a letter from the physician is needed. A patient under a managed care health insurance plan is authorized by his primary care physician to a see a specialist for the diagnosis or treatment of a specific condition. Medical referral service helps the patient to find the best physician to cure the problem; getting second opinion is especially important when the course of treatment provided by the patients’ physician doesn’t solve the problem. In such case medical referral is at hand; the advice of a specialist, provided in time, may save the patients’ life.
