Welcome to UHealth, home to medical experts, researchers and professionals who pride ourselves on always putting the patient first. As the only academic medical institution in the region, our physician partner services team is focused on being a seamless extension of your office to make life easier for you, your staff and your patients.

Our Physician Relations liaisons are here to make the patient referral process seamless. Our patient care partnership will provide you with:

  • All you need to know about our patient care services and specialties, including hundreds of ongoing patient clinical trials.
  • Information about our extensive opportunities with UHealth’s continuing medical education program.
  • Updates on insurance plans and coverages that may affect your patient’s care.
  • Channels in which to offer feedback and suggestions about our services.
  • Access to EMR files via CareLink.
  • Priority access to physician networking events.
  • Printed resources and publications about UHealth for easy reference.
  • Responses and resolution for any of your questions or concerns.

Our Concierge Call Center Navigators help your patients get registered and secure an appointment – AND keep your office in the loop. On top of that, these skilled health care navigators:

  • Coordinate fast and easy patient referrals via phone, fax, online, and email.
  • Relay any special circumstances to the referring physician regarding their patient’s appointment.
  • Facilitate Physician-to-Physician consultations quickly and easily.
  • Connect referring physicians to Physician Relations liaisons.

In addition, our UHealth Concierge Insurance Verifiers take the stress and concern out of the insurance process for your patients. They work to expedite paperwork and answer questions related to coverage concerns. In addition, they:

  • Verify patient insurance coverage to ensure necessary procedures are covered by an individual’s provider.
  • Provide patients with pertinent information regarding their coverage.
  • Facilitate out-of-network letters of authorization and single-case agreements.
