Information for Referring Health Care Providers

The Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital Liver Transplant team is available for consults or to accept patient referrals.
 
Our team is able to accept emergent referrals, and our longstanding expertise allows us to list patients very quickly when required.

Information and records
Please fax your patient’s medical records to (650) 736-7857. It is also helpful to have demographic information (including insurance information) to quickly register the patient.
 

Transport

If an inpatient evaluation and transport are required, we will work with you and our Transport Service to get your patient to Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital.
 

After Your Referral

We are committed to providing family-centered care to all children who require a transplant and their families. We work closely with the family from the moment of the referral to make sure all questions are addressed.
 
After you refer a patient to our program, the child will be assigned a dedicated transplant coordinator. The coordinator will:

• Call the family and provide transplant-specific education
• Serve as a liaison to the patient and family with the transplant team

Our transplant physician assistants help facilitate the evaluation and care on the inpatient service. 
 
Monitor your patient’s progress. Please feel free to call us at (650) 725-8771 with any questions or concerns about your patient.
 
You can also register for the MD Portal to access patient and clinical information and follow your patient’s progress online.
