First, confirm the reason with the receiving facility: whether it is missing documentation, a specialty mismatch, or temporarily no available appointments. Then give that feedback to the referring doctor. Ask the original doctor to help supplement materials, adjust the referral direction, and clarify who will continue to be responsible for follow-up during the waiting period. While the referral is not yet completed, do not assume that the original follow-up has already ended.
