Due to the complexity of the referral process within each insurance company, please allow 10 business days to complete each referral.
Merrimack Family Medicine is affiliated with Lowell General Hospital. All referrals and specialists appointments will be confirmed with providers within our network. All visits must be pre-approved by your PCP. Any visits with specialists not within our network may not be allowed and the cost of that appointment will be your financial responsibility.
Not sure if your specialist is allowed? Call the office BEFORE you schedule an appointment.
