Referrals
Referrals to Off-Campus Providers
Due to your needs and our resources, we may refer you to a provider off-campus. You do not need a referral to see an off-campus health care provider. But we are happy to meet with you to make a local recommendation, or help find providers in your area based on your needs.
For students with insurance other than the Smith College Health Insurance: It is your responsibility to determine whether a referral is needed or an off-campus visit will be covered. You can call the phone number on the back of your insurance card to find out this information.

Contacting a Provider
It’s okay to contact more than one therapist at first, and in fact we recommend reaching out to three to four to start. Whether you email or call the therapist, be sure to leave your name, phone number or email, your insurance company, and the best time to reach you. Many therapists work alone without office help, so if you do not hear back within a few days, try them a second time.
