How can you confirm if a referral is linked to an appointment you created?

To confirm if a referral is linked to an appointment you created, checking the referral number after double-clicking the appointment provides direct and specific evidence of that connection. When you access appointment details in the system, the context reveals both the appointment specifics and associated referral information, including referral numbers. This process allows for a straightforward and reliable way to validate that the appointment and referral are indeed linked.

While examining the patient's medical history or analyzing appointment details could provide some context about past referrals or appointments, they do not provide the immediate link between a specific appointment and its associated referral number as effectively as directly accessing the appointment details. Additionally, asking the referring provider does not guarantee the information is up to date or accurate, particularly since the appointment and referral may have already been processed in the system.
