A STAT referral can be approved online when it is submitted to the utilization review department through the provider's Web portal. A STAT referral is used in an emergency situation as indicated by the physician. A regular referral usually takes 3 to 10 working days for review and approval. This type of referral is used when the physician believes that the patient must see a specialist to continue treatment. An urgent referral usually takes about 24 hours for approval. This type of referral is used when an urgent but not life-threatening situation occurs.
