How Referrals Work

1. Send or request a referral

Use the website referral form, call the intake team, or send referral documents through the secure process Starlight confirms for your organization.

2. Starlight reviews the request

Our team reviews service needs, location, insurance or authorization details, requested disciplines, physician orders, and timing.

3. We coordinate next steps

We contact the appropriate referral partner, physician, patient, family member, or caregiver to clarify details and prepare for care.

4. Care begins at home

Once the referral is accepted and required orders or authorizations are in place, Starlight schedules services and begins the care process.

5. We communicate along the way

As appropriate, we share updates, report concerns, and help the care team stay aligned with the patient's goals and plan of care.
