I think that would depend on your insurance. You might want to call then to ask if you need a referral & they can also give you a list of dr’s you can go to. I had to wait 4 months for an appointment.
Most insurances require a referral for a developmental pediatrician. I had to have one and I don’t know a parent in my area that didn’t need the same referral.
@fairykarmamomma, okay! They tested him last March. I submitted the paperwork for him to be tested in October, took them till the end of March to test him. I got his test results, he got his IEP and than they have repeatedly told me that they don’t actually test for him being on the spectrum. I am so confused with this whole process.
