Patients may be referred to the Lung Transplant Program by their primary care physician, pulmonologist, insurance/case manager, or may be self-referred. Referrals may be received by mail, fax, e-mail, or by telephone. In the case of a telephone referral, the referring party is instructed to mail/fax the pertinent patient records.

 

Each referral is reviewed in detail by the transplant pulmonologist and coordinator. If the patient has an obvious contraindication, this is communicated to the referring person and no further steps towards transplantation are undertaken. If the patient has a contraindication, but there is a chance that another therapy short of transplant may be offered, then the patient may be seen with this as the goal.
