DevMed appointments

Your first step to becoming a patient at DevMed is to obtain a referral from your primary care physician (PCP).

How can I schedule an appointment?

To make an appointment for your child, you must ask your primary care physician to fax a referral to DevMed.

You will need to provide the following documentation for the referral:

• Contact information (name, birthdate, address, phone number)
• Insurance information (a copy of your insurance card)
• A copy of the most recent well child visit
• For school-aged children (6+ years), a copy of the school district's evaluation report and most recent IEP (if IEP is available)

Our team reviews every referral. We may request more information. You’ll receive a letter with next steps, and before your first visit, you’ll be asked to complete additional forms to help us prepare to see you. Learn what to bring to your first appointment. 

Is my child eligible for referral to DevMed?
