For referral coordinators and practice managers
Send a Psychiatry / Behavioral Health referral by fax
Prepare the referral letter, verify the psychiatry / behavioral health office's fax line, review the exact PDF and cost, then track delivery. No fax machine and no subscription.
Start a Psychiatry / Behavioral Health referral →Common reasons for a psychiatry / behavioral health referral
- Depression or anxiety not responding to treatment
- Medication management
- Diagnostic evaluation
What psychiatry / behavioral health offices commonly ask for
- Current symptoms and functional impact
- Medications tried, doses and response
- Any safety concerns and their urgency
- Prior behavioral health treatment
Along with the basics every referral needs: patient name and date of birth, referring clinician, reason for referral, urgency and insurance. Requirements vary, so confirm with the receiving office.
How it works
- Enter the referral details. Psychiatry / Behavioral Health is already selected as the specialty.
- Choose the receiving office from saved providers or the NPI Registry, and verify its referral fax line.
- Review the generated PDF and the exact credit total, sign the submission attestation and send.
- Track delivery and find every referral later under Sent Referrals.
A delivered fax confirms transmission. It does not create a clinical order, payer authorization or appointment. If the plan requires prior authorization, start it separately.

Pick a saved provider or search the CMS NPI Registry in the form, then confirm the referral fax line with the receiving office. Many practices use a separate number for referrals.
