Patients who have their diagnosis elsewhere can request that their therapy be administered at STMC's Oncology Department.
Though your personal physician need not call to make the appointment for you, you may want to obtain information regarding your medical care prior to making your call because our referral specialists will need some specific information regarding your medical history to complete the referral process. Additionally, our specialists will request that you forward certain medical information in advance of your visit. This may include x-rays, cat scan films/reports, and pathology slides/reports, surgical reports, and a summary of your treatment to-date.
Information Needed at the Time of Referral:
§ Your personal contact information (phone numbers, address,
etc.)
§ Diagnosis
§ Details of diagnosis (physical exam, biopsy, x-rays, etc.)
§ Specific information about any treatment you may have already
received
§ Names and phone numbers of all physicians that have provided
care related to your diagnosis including your primary care provider
§ Your insurance information, including any necessary HMO authorization
STMC's Oncology Department is located at 1303 Hospital Drive adjacent to STMC's main medical building in Wharton. Our office is next to STMC's Administration office in the first office building complex on the corner of Regional Medical Drive and Hospital Drive.
