Refer a Patient

As a specialty practice, to be seen in our clinic all patients must be referred from a physician, physician’s assistant, or nurse practitioner. This helps ensure that all patients who see us will benefit from the visit. Please fax a completed referral form along with relevant medical records (e.g., clinic notes and test results) to the Cardiology Referral Center 984-974-2990. Upon receipt, the staff will review the request and identify a provider. Next, our scheduling team will call to set up an appointment. Finally, we will fax your physician a copy of the appointment time and mail you information about your appointment. Should you need to check to see if an appointment has been made, please call 984-974-2990.

Use EPIC CareLink to refer patients and receive results

If you are a non-UNC physician or mid-level provider you can now use the UNC CareLink portal to directly place referrals, access information about your patients (including scheduled appointments, clinical notes, and more) and send secure messages to UNC cardiology regarding your patients’ care.

Find more information on UNC Health Care, and enroll for UNC CareLink here.
