Heart disease can take many forms and affect people of all ages. BACH providers specialize in evaluating, diagnosing, and treating adult heart disease.

Details about referral priority:

• Emergent referrals need to be sent to the emergency room

• Urgent referrals require a phone call to the office to speak with the physician on call

• Routine referrals do not require a phone call or message to the office or physician on call; The patient will be seen within 1 month

Things to know when referring to BACH:

• All referrals are evaluated and risk stratified based on symptoms and potential disease severity by our clinical staff and providers to determine priority.

• Having required documentation and/or cardiac testing completed prior to cardiology appointment will facilitate/speed up referral appointment request. Consider share point site guidelines to assist in testing decisions.
