Referral FAQ
What are the current wait times for a referral assessment?
Wait times typically range from 2 to 4 weeks depending on the urgency and complexity of the cardiometabolic profile. We prioritize urgent Physician Referrals to ensure timely intervention for high-risk patients.
What information is required for a complete referral?
A complete referral should include current medications, recent lab results (A1c, lipid panel, LFTs), and a brief medical history focusing on cardiometabolic concerns such as hypertension, obesity, or suspected MASLD.
Is elective imaging optional and how is it paid?
Yes, advanced MRI imaging is entirely elective and optional. It is a private-pay service that provide deeper metabolic insights beyond standard clinical vitals. Costs will be discussed during the initial consultation.
