I have a referral, now how do I get an appointment?

Your referral will be processed and triaged based on the severity of your condition. A Sidra Medicine scheduler will be in contact to confirm your appointment date and time.

If your referral is from another healthcare institution, you will need to send the referral to Sidra Medicine yourself via:

Physical drop off: If you have a paper referral and would prefer to drop it to Sidra Medicine, there are referral drop-boxes at the Outpatient Clinic information desk and Tower A main desk of the main hospital. Please note that this is for referral drop off only and you will not be able to organize your appointment at the same time.

Once received, a Sidra Medicine scheduler will be in contact to confirm your appointment date and time.

How can I find more information on billing?

Sidra Medicine has a team of financial counselors to discuss care options, including payments and insurance coverage.
