Provider Referrals

Thank you for the opportunity to serve you and your patients! Our premade forms will help you document symptoms and order sleep studies with ease. Questions? Call (318) 443-1684.

Sleep Referrals Require Two Things:

1 Signed/Dated clinic notes of the suspected diagnosis and correlating symptoms.

EXAMPLE
Suspected Diagnosis
: Obstructive Sleep Apnea G47.33
Symptoms: 
Snoring or gasping for breath during sleep, Periods of apnea during sleep, Excessive Daytime Sleepiness, High Blood Pressure, Morning headaches.

2 Documentation of the referral to Red River Sleep Center with patient demographics and clearly stated orders. Our Sleep Testing Order Form takes care of this, or you can use your company forms by adding "Sleep Study Referral" to the submission. If you're ordering a sleep evaluation by one of our sleep specialists, and not sleep testing, just indicate that on the order or your referral notes.

That's it. Send those two items and add anything else you feel pertinent to the referral. We'll review the referral, get your patient tested, and send you the results.
