Who is considered International?

Penn Global Medicine considers a patient "international" if they have a permanent address outside of the United States.

The Referral Process

The referring physician will need to do the following:

  • Collect the patient's basic contact information (name, email, phone number).
  • Provide the Penn Global Medicine office with this information.
  • Let the patient know that a Penn Global Medicine representative will be contacting them soon.

A Penn Global Medicine care coordinator will work with the patient to:

  • Register them with Penn Medicine.
  • Secure finances and/or insurance verifications.
  • Schedule appointments and provide interpretation services (if needed).

Our care coordinator will also give the patient information about accommodations and transportation.

If you are a domestic or U.S.-based physician seeking to transfer a patient, please visit Penn Medicine Transfer Center.
