Does my patient need a referral or prior authorization?

No. A formal referral is not required. Your patient can contact us directly, and we are always glad to know who sent them.

How do I refer a patient?

Ask your patient to book a free phone consultation, or text 931-223-1095, and to mention that you referred them. Please do not send patient health information by email or through a web form. Once your patient signs a release, we will arrange a secure way to exchange records.

These conditions require specialist care because they can be difficult to diagnose; they can be difficult to treat; and they can definitely be difficult to live with. What's more, is they often occur together which adds to the challenge.

At ScienceWorks, we embrace that challenge because it's where we can have the greatest impact.

Your patient gets specialist care, and you stay informed. Here is how a referral works, step by step.

How Referral Works

The same structured, evidence-based path as every client. With your patient's written permission, we keep you in the loop.

Step 1

FREE Phone Consultation

Step 2

Clinical Intake

An accurate diagnosis is essential to receiving effective care.

Together, we'll establish a complete perspective.

Step 3

Treatment

We'll work together to build a personalized plan with clear goals and strategies.

What gets measured gets improved. We start with an accurate diagnosis, set clear metrics, and adjust the treatment plan as results come in. With your patient's written permission, we can share these measures with you.
