As of October 2009, all Dartmouth-Hitchcock practices will be implementing a policy to ensure the accuracy of patient identification prior to any services that we provide. How can we tell it's really you? We will be asking for your name and date of birth throughout your visit. We ask this of every patient we encounter, every time, to ensure you receive safe, accurate, and quality care. Thank you for your cooperation, and for choosing Dartmouth-Hitchcock. About referrals - Some health insurance policies require that you have a referral from your family doctor (primary care provider, or PCP) to make an appointment for specialty care. Please review your health insurance coverage before calling for an appointment.
- Some departments require that you be referred to them by a physician. See our Referral Services Department for more information, or call toll-free (866) 833-4685, or (603) 440-7680.
Translator/interpreter Services - If you are a new patient in need of a translator/interpreter when you seek medical care, please notify Patient Financial Services or the department's appointment secretary when you register as a new patient. This will be recorded in our system and will alert the department you are seeking care from, that you require these services.
- If you are an established or referred patient in need of a translator/interpreter during your medical appointment, please call the appointment secretary for that department ahead of time to notify them of your needs.
Patient Online - Use Patient Online to request an appointment, communicate with your healthcare team, and more.
