6.14.2018 CC 04B (Pediatric Specific) Does every referral to a specialist require sharing test results and a current care plan? Pediatric patients may be referred to a specialist for an acute condition that does not require a care plan.

If the condition is acute care management, the plan may be simpler than for a patient with a complex, chronic condition. The plan of care would include current medications, tests, treatment, patient/family self-care and important information about the family. While not every referral would have the same level of detail, be prepared to show a referral example for a patient that does have a care plan with the expected details.
