Referral Process

Patients may be referred to our team by their specialty care physician or primary care physician. Their physician should contact Clarian Transplant and ask to speak with an organ transplant coordinator. The coordinator will request demographic data, past medical history, current health history, social history to assess support systems and compliance to medical therapy, recent test reports and insurance information from the referring physician and/or the office staff.

A financial counselor will contact your insurance company to verify your transplant benefits and will notify you of any problems related to insurance coverage. The coordinator will then call you for further information and will answer any initial questions you have.

Once your insurance has given approval for you to be evaluated and transplanted at Clarian, a coordinator will call you to schedule a consult with one of our transplant physicians. The appointment usually lasts one to two hours. The transplant surgeon will review your medical records and X-rays, obtain a history from you, perform a limited physical exam and discuss transplantation with you and your family. If the doctor feels you are a good transplant candidate and you wish to pursue transplantation, a transplant coordinator will schedule an evaluation. A formal transplant evaluation is necessary to determine your risk factors for undergoing organ transplantation.

For more information, please call 800-382-4602 or e-mail transplantinfo@clarian.org
