Can I get a referral?

Yes, our team can provide referrals for in-person specialist care. We prioritize referring you to providers who are in-network with your insurance to help keep your costs down. If you're uninsured, we will do our best to identify affordable local care options for you.


Requesting a Referral


The most direct way to get a referral is to start a consultation in the Galileo app by tapping the "Referral" button on the home screen.


Clinician-Recommended Referrals


During any consultation, our medical team may also determine that an in-person evaluation is needed for more complex issues. In these cases, they will proactively recommend and issue a referral for you.


Coordinating With Your Existing PCP


If you have an assigned Primary Care Provider (PPCP) outside of Galileo, we are happy to work alongside them. Think of us as a resource to fill in the gaps between your regular visits, ensuring you have continuous support.


A Note for HMO Plans

If your HMO plan requires referrals to be authorized by your assigned PCP, we can help. Our team will provide your PCP with all the necessary medical records for them to create the authorization on your behalf.
