Just wondering if you are able to make a referral to a pediatric endocrinologist.

Not via this forum: One can go to see an Endocrinologist without referral unless one has a restrictive insurance plan such as an HMO or a POS plan that requires a referral. If one has a PPO plan, a referral is almost never needed unless one has a rare, restrictive PPO plan that requires a referral. For better insurance coverage (less out-of-pocket costs), consider seeing an in-network doctor.

Some basics: This public HT site does not provide referrals/prescriptions/ notes or any other form of direct care. It is a public information forum. If you expect a 3rd party (insurance) to pay for any specialty care you need to contact them and find out who they would accept a referral from. Many only accept referrals from their own network physicians. If you're paying out of pocket refer yourself.
