Follow-Up Appointments definition
Follow-Up Appointments means any additional visits deemed necessary by the outside provider and documented on page two of the “Referral Record”. In some cases, this information may also be correlated with the DOC’s referring provider via the telephone. The DOC’s regional physician shall approve all follow-up appointments. The outside provider will be notified in the event approval is denied. The outside provider shall not inform the inmate regarding potential follow-up visits.
