To Refer a Patient to UI Health
Epic and EpicCare Link - Preferred
EpicCare Link is a secure web-based portal that enhances continuity of care by enabling organizations that are not on Epic to access UI Health patient records, place referrals, and more.
Organizations that are on Epic should consider using Care Everywhere Referral Management (CERM). Please contact your internal Epic IT administrator for more information.

- Diagnostic Imaging: 312.996.8154

For questions or to talk with someone in our referral center, please call 866.600.CARE (2273).
