Can I select a Virginia Mason primary care provider with this insurance plan?
Does this plan require pre-approval to see a specialist?
No (No insurance approved referral required — please see comments.)
General Comments
- Will accept community provider referrals for medically appropriate specialty care (if it is believed patient would be more appropriately served for their specific medical need elsewhere Virginia Mason will not accept the requested referral or transfer).
- Virginia Mason is unavailable for primary care services.
- There will be no referral authorization number; persons scheduling should be asked for the name of the referring provider and contact information.
