Does the Health Center make referrals to other doctors?
Yes we do make referrals to other specialists. Please be advised that the WCU
Health Center cannot be named as a "primary care physician" for anyone's
individual insurance plans. If your insurance requires referrals from a
"primary care physician" in order to cover the costs of referral services, then
you will need to receive the referral from the doctor named as your "primary
care physician" on your insurance plan.
