Specialist Referral Acknowledgement Question Title * As part of our efforts to improve current referral processes between specialists and family physicians, please let us know which option you would prefer if you could only receive one referral acknowledgement from a specialist’s office: Within 24 hours – an automated message to verify your fax was received. Within a week – a message acknowledging the referral and providing a timeline for triage. Two weeks or longer – a message acknowledging the referral has been triaged and providing estimated wait time for an appointment. Done
