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.
