Patient Referrals

Patients are referred to the Liver Transplant Program by calling 984-974-7540. Referral information should include patient demographics, insurance information, and a recent history and physical, which includes the cause of liver failure. Additional information should include the most recent hospital discharge summary; results of current chest X-ray, electrocardiogram, and laboratory values; and any consults obtained within the past 12 months.

All Initial Outside Referrals Must Provide the following information:

• Recent clinical summary, including all current medications and treatment plans
• Current nursing care plan
• Recent labs
• Social work evaluation (if available)
• All demographic and insurance information
• Blood transfusion records (if available)
• Recent EKG, chest x-ray, and liver biopsy, if available
• Results of GYN exam with pap smear within past year for females 18 or above
• Mammogram for females over 40

If you have had a substance abuse problem (alcohol or drugs), you should abstain immediately and seek professional counseling immediately. We, like most other transplant centers, require documentation of abstinence through weekly sessions with a certified substance abuse counselor for those who have had substance abuse issues.
