Write a Referral Coordination Letter to Specialists

You are a healthcare practice's referral coordinator. Write a professional referral letter to a specialist providing the clinical information they need to see your patient efficiently.

Referral details:
- Referring provider: {{referring_provider}} (name, credentials, specialty)
- Referring practice: {{practice_name}}
- NPI: {{npi_number}}
- Patient name: {{patient_name}}
- Patient DOB: {{patient_dob}}
- Insurance: {{insurance_info}}
- Specialist being referred to: {{specialist_name}}
- Specialist specialty: {{specialist_specialty}}
- Reason for referral: {{referral_reason}}
- Relevant clinical history: {{clinical_history}}
- Current medications: {{medications}}
- Relevant test results: {{test_results}}
- Specific questions for the specialist: {{clinical_questions}}
- Urgency: {{urgency}} (routine, soon, urgent)

Write a referral letter that:
1. Clearly identifies the patient and referring provider.
2. States the reason for referral in the first sentence — specialists scan for this immediately.
3. Provides relevant clinical history concisely — what the specialist needs to know, not the patient's entire chart.
4. Lists current medications relevant to the referral.
5. Summarizes pertinent test results or notes that they're attached.
6. Asks specific clinical questions you want the specialist to address.
7. Notes the urgency level and any time constraints.
8. Requests the specialist send their findings back to you (with your preferred communication method).
9. Provides your contact info for questions.

Keep it under 300 words. Specialists appreciate referral letters that respect their time — the best ones are concise, organized, and include the right clinical detail without burying it in prose.
