A Note About Referrals
It is extremely important to be aware of your insurance company's policy for referrals. A referral is a formal authorization from your insurance company, usually for the purpose of approving diagnostic or specialist studies or specialized services such as physical therapy. It is not the same thing as a doctor's order or prescription for treatment, because it comes from your insurance company and is requested by calling your primary care physician. The following insurances currently require an referral for our services:

Upper Peninsula Health Plan requires a referral for all physicians not located in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. EMG's are not a covered benefit under Macomb Health Plan. Referrals are submitted by your primary care physician. If you are unsure whether your insurance requires a referral (sometimes called pre-authorization) for the EMG/NCS test, please call the customer service number on your insurance card to inquire about referral policies. We will also be happy to assist you with any inquiries.
