FocalPointSM Referral Process

Your thRed plan includes FocalPoint: A unique approach where your Primary Care Physician and their team oversee, evaluate and coordinate any services you need. This includes specialists, which require a referral to ensure that you get the right care from the right provider. Having one team focused on your overall health takes the burden off of you and leads to better, more cohesive care. For members 21 and older, referrals are required for many specialty care services. Simply contact your Primary Care Physician and they will schedule the appropriate provider from our network of high-performing specialists.
