How do I refer my patient to DSME?
These steps make the DSME referral process fast and easy.
Most DSME providers accept referrals from outside their system. Contact your closest DSME provider to discuss how they prefer to receive referrals.
When making the referral, the ADA has a sample DSME form available online. Additional information such as an insurance company and identification number may also be helpful for the DSME provider.
Any physician or APP can make a referral. Having patient agreement to participate in DSME and accurate contact information is key to a successful DSME referral.
