Questions from referring offices

Vascular referral FAQs

What information should I include with a vascular referral?

Include the patient's demographics, the reason for referral, symptom pattern, urgency, relevant examination findings, current medications, allergies, insurance information and any available imaging or procedure reports. A clearly stated clinical question helps EVSLA route the case appropriately.

Which patients can be referred to EVSLA?

Common pathways include arterial disease, chronic limb-threatening ischemia, non-healing wounds with a vascular concern, venous insufficiency, varicose veins, suspected venous obstruction, aneurysm evaluation and selected embolization consultations for fibroids, pelvic venous disease, BPH and varicocele.

What if I am unsure which EVSLA service is appropriate?

Refer the patient with the clinical question and relevant records, or call the referral line at (818) 626-3710. The team can route the case for the appropriate specialist review.

How should urgent referrals be handled?

Call EVSLA directly for a time-sensitive but non-emergency concern so the referral can be triaged. Suspected acute limb ischemia, stroke, pulmonary embolism or another medical emergency requires immediate emergency evaluation and should not be submitted through an online form.

Will my office receive consultation findings?

The referral workflow is designed to return relevant consultation findings and follow-up information to the referring office. Confirm the preferred secure delivery method and contact details when sending the referral.

Does a patient need insurance authorization before scheduling?

Requirements vary by plan and service. Include insurance details, the referral order and any authorization already obtained. EVSLA should verify benefits and advise the patient or referring office when additional authorization is needed.

Can patients contact EVSLA without a physician referral?

Patients may contact EVSLA to request an evaluation, but insurance plans can have different referral or authorization rules. Referring clinicians should use this page's secure pathway when transferring clinical information.

How should protected health information be sent?

Use only EVSLA's approved secure portal, secure fax process or other authorized transmission method. Do not send protected health information through a standard web form or ordinary email unless EVSLA has specifically approved that secure workflow.
