Lung Transplant Appointments/Referrals

Too expedite the referral process, we have created the following checklist for your convenience.

The following information is needed in order to process a referral. Records may be faxed to 919-681-9571.

Local Physician Referral Check List

• Patient name, address, and phone number
• Patient height and weight
• Date of birth
• Recent history and physical and/or discharge summary
• Most recent pulmonary function tests
• Insurance information (if available)
• Referring physician's name, address, telephone number and fax number

Once all the information is received, one of us will contact the patient and schedule the patient's evaluation. This process generally takes two to four weeks.

Once the evaluation has been completed, the referring physician will receive a letter with the transplant team's decision whether transplantation is appropriate for the patient and a copy of all test results obtained during the patient's evaluation.

Please call 800-249-5864 or 919-684-2240 with any questions or if there is additional information we can provide to facilitate the referral process.
