Transitioning Your Care
Our doctors offer a wide range of advanced treatments across all specialties, and our Member Care Services are available to help you find the care you need. However, we understand there are times when you are in the middle of care and need special assistance to be sure the transition of your care does not result in any lapses in care. We can help you find the specialist you need. In some cases, it may be necessary to approve limited continuing care with your current out-of-network doctor to achieve a safe transfer of care.
Simply submit a Transition of Care Request Form (PDF). If this is regarding receiving a mental health treatment, please fill out the Transition of Care for Mental Health Request Form (PDF).
