I always thought referrals came from your PRIMARY CARE doctor, maybe specialist wont accept a request from a patient, unless he has some kind of symptom that is specific to that specialty. Some dont like thier time and energy wasted from a random person, i guess. I think insurance is different from people to people, some will be only allowed within a certain network of doctors,specialist,hospitals. Some will allow free range of doctors. if its not expensive.
