Good Morning. I have been a patient at NJH since 2019. I had a referral initially but I was a local. Now living in S. Dakota. Whether or not a referral is needed might depend on your insurance, etc. so I would contact their main line which is on the website. They will be able to answer your questions and get you pointed in the right direction. Since you are out of state you will be assigned a patient advocate who will handle the appointment scheduling. Good luck.

I have been a patient at NJH for 2 years and continue to do so.
The main number is (303-398-1355) and they will guide you in the direction to a patient advocate. You do not need a referral and once you get scheduled plan to be there up to 10 days for your first visit. They are wonderful and so educated and I feel it will be well worth it for you.

I went to National Jewish in Oct. 2023. With my Medicare and Supplement Insurance I was able to make my appointment directly with them, I referred myself.
However, I also called ahead of time and talked to the financial department, ( I believe it was the financial department) to be sure my insurances would cover all. All was covered by Medicare and the Supplement Insurance.
What I appreciated was all the testing they did to either rule out or find any possible problems I might have that could related to the Bronchiectasis etc.
One test confirmed I have a small hiatal hernia which I did not know of until going to NJH.
Reality is, to me, I have told myself so much depends upon me and my doing what I need to do for myself and the doctors are there for us to know what tests to order and do, to tell us of all the findings and then tell us what we need to do for ourselves such as what medications that can/should be suggested or not suggested according to what the tests say and what our own bodies will tolerate. NJH has been doing this since the late 1800's with the doctors that have practiced there through the years.
Wishing you all good decisions and outcomes with what you decide.
Barbara
