Referring Providers

At Southside Kidney Clinics, we understand that clear communication and a seamless referral process are vital for ensuring patients receive timely, quality kidney care. That’s why our Referral Coordinator is a key member of our team, working diligently to connect primary care providers, patients, and our practice.

Bridging the Gap Between Providers and Patients

Our Referral Coordinator serves as a vital link in the care continuum, ensuring that every referral is handled with efficiency and care. Here’s how she makes a difference:

For Primary Care Providers

Streamlined Referral Process

The Referral Coordinator works closely with primary care providers and their staff to facilitate referrals quickly and accurately. She collects and reviews all relevant patient information, ensuring our nephrology team has the complete picture to provide optimal care. She contacts the patient directly to schedule the appointment.

Efficient Communication

Acting as a liaison, she ensures clear and timely communication between our practice and referring providers. This helps maintain continuity of care and keeps everyone informed about patient progress.

Insurance Verification

Our Referral Coordinator assists in navigating the insurance process, confirming coverage, and obtaining any required prior authorizations, saving time for referring practices.

A Commitment to Excellence

We know that referrals are often the first step in a patient’s journey to better kidney health. Our Referral Coordinator is dedicated to making that step as smooth and positive as possible, ensuring patients and providers alike experience seamless care coordination.

If you’re a provider with questions about an upcoming appointment, our Referral Coordinator is here to help. Contact us today to learn more about how we work together to deliver exceptional kidney care.
