Refer a Patient

Before Placing a Referral

To best serve the people of North Carolina and beyond, we must focus on caring for adults with complex conditions who benefit most from our team’s expertise, collaborative care, and clinical trials. Before placing a referral, please review our “who we care for” page which outlines the conditions we are able to best care for.

How To Place a Referral

Use EPIC to refer a patient

If you are a provider within UNC Health, please place the referral through EPIC. Choose “Ambulatory Referral to Hematology” and select “UNC Hematology at Eastowne”.

Use EPIC CareLink to refer a patient

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

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

After a Referral Has Been Placed

Upon receipt of the referral, whether placed through EPIC, EPIC CareLink, or fax, our scheduling team will review the request and identify the appropriate provider(s). If needed, the scheduling team will consult with our medical director or a clinic hematologist. On occasion, additional information may be requested.

Next, our scheduling team will contact the patient to set up the appointment. Finally, we will notify the patient directly about their appointment. Should you need to check if an appointment has been made, please call 984-974-2950
