Receiving a Patient Referral 

Referring to a Provider In Your Network

When you refer a patient to a provider that is registered with Teledentix and in your network, they will receive a notification of the referral and can find the referral information in their "Referred Patients" page. 

Referring to an Outside Provider

When you refer a patient to a provider that is not registered with Teledentix, the referral will trigger an email notification to that provider notifying them of the referral and inviting them to join Teledentix.

After joining Teledentix, the new provider will be able to see the patient's referral in their "Referred Patients" page.
