Referrals

In most cases a referral is not needed to be seen by Dr. Levine. Call our office to confirm. You will need authorization from your employer for workers’ compensation claims.

If your insurance is an HMO/managed care plan and you are required to obtain a referral from your primary care physician, the referral must be obtained before you can be seen for an office visit. Please coordinate this with your primary care physician in advance. Appointments will be rescheduled if required referrals are not received in the office by the time of your visit.

Patient Forms

The North County Orthopedic Medical Group provides our patients with office forms for your convenience. We recommend you print and fill these forms prior to your appointment to save time.

• New Patient Registration
