Need a Specialist? The Choice is Yours.

Derry Medical Center and Londonderry Family Practice Center are independent medical practices, and we accept most major insurance plans. This means that if you need to see a specialist, you and your doctor decide together where you will receive the best care.

We work closely with patients in selecting specialists, making choices based on specific medical needs, pre-existing relationships, convenience, insurance requirements, and other personal preferences.

Our patients are often referred to hospitals including Parkland Medical Center, Catholic Medical Center, and Elliot Hospital as well as regional facilities like Lahey Clinic, Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center, and Massachusetts General Hospital.

But whether you need an office consultation with a specialist or a hospitalization, the choice is yours.

If your insurance company requires a referral, please call our Referral Coordinator at (603) 537-1307 (voice mail only) or click here to email your request. At the voice mail prompt please leave the following information:

• Name
• Date of Birth
• Telephone Number
• Primary Care Physician
• Specialist Name
• Date of Appointment
• Reason for Visit

Your referral will be delayed if:

• Your request was not generated from a recent visit.In this event your request would have to be forwarded to your provider for approval.
• You receive a written referral form from your provider during a visit and it is not dropped off at the front desk. All written referrals need to be forwarded to the referral coordinator for processing.

All referrals are subject to the restrictions/conditions imposed by the insurance company.

Once your referral is complete, it will be forwarded to the specialist. Please note that depending on the insurance company, it may take up to 10 days for a referral to be fully processed and forwarded to the specialist's office. Many insurance companies must approve our request for a referral, assign a referral authorization number and forward that information to the specialist. We know this process is sometimes very frustrating but our staff is very conscientious in processing referrals as expeditiously as possible.
