Many plans require a referral or authorization before a specialist visit.
Tests and therapies often need prior authorization.
Guardians receive statements and consent for care.
Pediatric subspecialists see referred children in hospital-based and academic clinics, with inpatient consults and procedures in children’s hospitals. Visits are billed on the professional claim, often to Medicaid or CHIP, and many families travel far for care, so telehealth follow-up is common. Referrals and prior authorizations from the primary care pediatrician are part of almost every new patient visit.
