Children's Referring Physicians

Children’s of Mississippi welcomes physician referrals and offers several easy ways to make a referral and transfer or admit a patient to Batson Children’s Hospital.

We have experienced specialists and subspecialists covering a broad scope of pediatric care. It is our policy to keep referring physicians fully up to date on their patients’ progress, and discharge patients back to their providers with complete information for effective continuity of care.

Physician Referral Line

Physicians or their staff can call 855-984-KIDS to refer a patient for:

Clinic appointments for all locations
Emergency or critical care transfer
Hospital admission

Physician Referral Line Hours:

Get our Mobile Referral App

Physicians can download the UMMC 4Referrals mobile app for Apple® or Android® mobile devices. The app lists current UMMC providers by specialty and allows referring physicians and their staff to handle referrals for clinic appointments, critical care triage, emergency care, inpatient transfers, and to contact on-call providers. It can also be filtered to show Children’s providers only.
