What is the purpose of a doctor referral?

Asked by LostInParadise (31927points) April 10th, 2019

About a year ago I had an eye exam at the local mall. I was told that I need to have cataracts removed. I made an appointment at one of the places that they listed and called my regular doctor to get a referral.

What assurance does the insurance company get from my doctor’s referral? Under what circumstances would my doctor not give a referral?
