Requesting a referral

We will need this patient information to schedule an appointment:

  • Name
  • Address
  • Phone number
  • Date of birth
  • Mayo Clinic registration number, if a previous patient
  • Type of insurance, such as HMO, workers' compensation, medical assistance
  • Nature of medical issue

We also need to know:

  • Your referring physician National Provider Identifier (NPI) number
  • Services you would like Mayo Clinic to provide

Patients with urgent medical or surgical needs are given priority in the appointment system. Appointments for non-urgent medical issues are scheduled several days to several weeks in advance. In general, pediatric services are offered only at Mayo Clinic's campus in Rochester, Minnesota.

Once your patient has been seen at Mayo Clinic, you will receive the following:

  • Medical records and Summary reports
  • You will receive your patient's Mayo Clinic medical records in a timely manner once he or she is seen. Users of CareLink, our referring physician portal, will have immediate access to their patients' records and will not receive mailed or faxed reports. Our physicians will provide a summary of diagnostic reports and treatments to you as soon as it becomes available. Mayo encourages referring physicians to register for a portal account. Records will be sent via mail or fax for those providers who do not use the portal.

Experienced nursing staff is available 24/7 to coordinate direct admission, emergency department evaluation or inpatient consultation for your patients at any Mayo Clinic Hospital location. Additionally, safe transport using Mayo Clinic Medical Transport can be coordinated for airplane, helicopter and ground transportation through the same phone call.
