Transfers, Referrals and Consultations

Physician Access Services, 855-543-0555

Timely communication with referring physicians is a top priority. Through our dedicated phone line for health care providers, you can speak directly with a UC San Diego Health physician — a trusted partner who respects your relationship with your patients. Together, we can help identify the best course of action, whatever that may be.

• Call 855-543-0555 and our team will register and schedule your referred patient.
• Refer patients through an online referral form.
• Fax your referral to 888-539-8781. See instructions for faxing referrals.
