What Happens After You Refer a Patient to 180 Medical?

Once we receive your referral, our team takes it from there and keeps the process moving. It's our goal to fulfill your patients' supply needs as quickly and efficiently as we can while keeping you in the loop if any other documentation or authorization is needed.

  1. We review the referral.

    Our specialized team starts reviewing your patient referral, including the prescription or standard written order, supporting medical documentation, and insurance information provided.

  2. We check your patient's coverage and verify any requirements.

    Our insurance specialists verify insurance information, check any applicable guidelines, and find out if any additional documentation is required. 

    If something is missing, we'll work with your office to help complete the referral.

  3. We connect with your patient.

    A 180 Medical specialist reaches out to your patient to discuss their supply needs, help with product options when needed, answer their questions, and guide them through understanding how their insurance will cover the prescribed supplies they need.

    If they need help with learning how to use their catheters or understand how to care for and change their ostomy pouching systems, we're here for that, too. Plus, we offer helpful online patient education, including printable instructions and step-by-step videos.

  4. We support them beyond the first order.

    Our team follows up after the first order or their shipment of samples (when applicable) to ensure they're satisfied and understand how to use their products. 

    And your patient won't be left wondering what comes next.

    We make it easy to confirm and manage ongoing orders through convenient reorder options, while our team is here to help when your patients have questions or need support with changing product needs, billing, insurance updates, and more.

When you refer a patient to a supplier, you want to know they're in good hands.

See how 180 Medical's specialists support your patients from the first referral and order to our ongoing service for as long as we're needed.
