Refer Your Patients Directly To The Helpline

The Helpline offers three ways to directly refer your patients:

  • Fax Referral
  • Secure Web Portal
  • EMR Closed Loop Referral

When you refer a patient, the Helpline will call them within 48 business hours to start enrollment. For each referral, your clinic will receive an outcome report. It tells you what happened with the referral: Did the patient accept or decline services? Were they reachable or unreachable? Did they receive nicotine replacement therapy? It’s a great tool for follow-up visits with your patients. If you are interested in getting set up for direct referrals, please contact:
