PCP refers you to an in-network specialist.

3.  Please ask your PCP for a copy of the completed form for your records.

The PCP must complete the Referral to Specialist form and fax it to Premera Blue Cross before you get the specialist's services. If Premera does not receive this completed form before services are delivered, the claim for the specialist’s services will be denied.

This referral remains in effect until the end date specified in Section 1-B of the form. You do not need a referral for treatment of life-threatening conditions or urgent and emergency care. If you have questions, call Premera Customer Service at 877-995-2696.

Take this cover sheet, referral form, and detailed instruction page (pages 1–3) with you when you visit your primary care provider.

Provider: If you are receiving this referral form, it means you have been selected by this
member to be their Primary Care Provider for their medical plan. The member will look to
you to coordinate their medical care.

Provider Instructions:

1.  Complete the Referral to Specialist Form.

2.  Fax the completed form to Premera Blue Cross, Attn: Customer Service, at 888-617-0495. You must submit the form before an in-network specialist provides services to the member. Premera will deny plan benefits to the member if the services are delivered before Premera receives the completed form.

3.  Give the member a copy of the completed Referral to Specialist Form for their records.

If no end date is specified in Section 1-B of the form, then this referral remains in effect for one year after the start date in Section 1-A. Standing referrals (no end date specified) require approval from Premera.

A referral form is not required for standard services in the obstetric, chiropractic, and gynecologic specialties. The member does not need approval in advance for treatment of life-threatening conditions or urgent and emergency care.
