Certain pregnancies may be best managed directly by a Maternal-Fetal Medicine specialist. We review all transfer-of-care requests individually.
Transfer of Care Requests
Transfer of care is considered on a case-by-case basis.
The most common accepted indications include:
- Higher-order multiples
- Fetal anomalies requiring intensive monitoring
For these situations, our physicians provide complete prenatal care and delivery management, offering a high level of coordination and surveillance.
Most other high-risk conditions are best served through co-management in partnership with the referring obstetrician.
How We Review Transfer Requests
Upon receiving a transfer-of-care inquiry, we:
- Review recent clinical records
- Evaluate indications for specialty-led prenatal care
- Determine appropriate care model (full transfer vs. co-management)
- Communicate with the referring provider promptly
Our priority is ensuring the safest and most appropriate care plan for each patient.
