Transplant Referral Process

Children's of Alabama utilizes a team approach of comprehensive care that includes the referring physician. The patient referral process is designed to be straightforward and simple for the referring office and the patient.

Step One

A demographic and clinical summary sheet is completed and sent to the Transplant Team with copies of the following patient records:

• Recent medical history and physical or clinical summary
• Laboratory data and clinic notes
• Hospitalization records
• Renal biopsy, radiology, renal ultrasound, and VCUG
• Blood type
• OP notes
• Discharge summaries
• Immunization records
• TB skin test
• Dental records/checkup

Step Two

The information is reviewed by the surgical team and insurance authorization is obtained.

Step Three

After authorization is obtained, a transplant evaluation is scheduled.
