Medical services

UW Health physicians and surgeons are pleased to provide a wide range of medical services. Specialists from UW Health in Madison regularly travel to see patients locally. This allows people who need specialty care to be seen for diagnosis, regular check-ups and some treatments close to where they live and work. In this way, UW Health physicians supplement and support the care provided by physicians within the local community.

Most UW Health specialty services are located within local health centers. These specialty clinics utilize local medical, laboratory and imaging services on a regular basis. In addition, some specialty services offer local outpatient surgical procedures in the local community. 

Education

In addition to patient care, UW Health providers also share their subspecialty expertise by providing educational opportunities for patients and local health care professionals.

Referrals

We accept most forms of insurance. If you have questions about your insurance coverage with a UW Health provider, please contact your insurance company.

In order to receive specialty care services, patients may also need a referral from a primary care physician. Patients should check with their primary care physicians to ensure that the proper procedures are followed.
