A referral to the Blood and Marrow Transplant (BMT) Program may be initiated as simply as having your office staff call the following numbers with pertinent demographic, diagnosis, and insurance information for the patient:  612-273-2800 or 888-601-0787. As a referring physician, you are always welcome to telephone the same number to request consultation information, or more urgently, to page the attending BMT physician on-call 24-hours-a day via the University of Minnesota Medical Center operator at 612-273-3000.

Recommended Timing for Transplant Consultation and Referral
The American Society of Blood and Marrow Transplantation (ASBMT) and the National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP) collaborated to create guidelines for physicians describing the best time to initiate a BMT consultation based on disease type and status. These guidelines are intended to improve transplant outcomes by ensuring that patients are ready for transplant at the optimal time in their disease process.
