Referral networks get pitched to clinicians as flexibility and opportunity — which is often true. It’s also worth knowing what to expect before you join one.
Licensure and Credentialing Expectations
State licensure, ongoing professional development, and periodic documentation updates — including liability insurance and licensure renewals — are standard across most networks.
How Matching Actually Works
Referrals are matched based on specialty, geography, and caseload preferences — not assigned at random.
Understanding the matching process helps set expectations for volume and case types.
What Flexibility Really Means
Flexibility can include choosing your specialty focus, coverage area, and caseload — along with understanding what’s negotiable versus fixed within a given network.
Referral Bonus Programs
Many networks, including FeldCare Connects, may offer referral bonuses for bringing in other qualified clinicians — worth asking about directly.
Questions Worth Asking Before You Join
- How is matching determined?
- What credentialing and documentation is required, and how often?
- Who retains billing and plan-of-care oversight — the network or the agency?
- What does communication and support look like day to day?
