Family Medicine of South Bend Referral Process

7 May 2025

Procedures (MRI, CT, Ultrasound, etc.): Our Referral Specialist will check with your insurance to see if a prior authorization is needed for the procedure that was ordered. Once that is completed, your order will then be sent to the scheduling department of the Imaging Facility where the procedure will take place. We will then call that scheduling department and schedule the procedure and call you with those appointment details.

Specialist Offices: Our Referral Specialist will send your referral to the specialist that your doctor wants you to have a consult with. Once that referral is sent, we will notify you. That specialist office will then process your referral and reach out to you to schedule an appointment.

Please allow us up to seven (7) business days for your referral to be processed. It could take an additional 7-10 business days for the referral to be processed by the specialist office.
