Referrals for Specialty Medical Care from Your Primary Care Doctor
In many cases, you will see your primary care doctor most often and they will refer you to specialists, as needed. Depending on the type of health insurance you have, you may need a referral from your primary care provider before you can see a specialty doctor, such as a neurologist, sleep medicine specialist or dermatologist.
