@tsinnc I was recently accepted. I tried self referral, and evidently, it is much harder to self refer, because I was denied. After a few months, I saw my Rheumatologist, and she and my primary both referred me. This time, I was accepted. The following is the flow as best as I remember it;
1. Submit a referral.
2. You are sent an email that contains a link for a questionnaire.
3. Complete the questionnaire.
4. They respond with an approval or denial. On my self referral, they responded with the denial in less than a week.. On my doctor's referral, it was two to three weeks.
5. Upon acceptance, they send you an email and txt that you have been accepted and a link to schedule your appointment s with Neurology.
