Contact usSpine surgery referrals sent to AHS’s Facilitated Access to Specialized Treatment (FAST) program are no longer being accepted in the Calgary Zone.
Effective Monday, June 3, the FAST program began returning new referrals to providers in Calgary and the surrounding areas.
Please revert to your original process of sending those referrals directly to the spine clinic or surgeon of their choice as you did prior to the FAST launch in October 2022.
Referrals for all other non-urgent orthopedic surgical consults, as well as general surgery, urology, vascular surgery, and adult gynecology (effective Monday, June 10), should continue to go through FAST.
AHS leadership says the referrals for spine are being paused due to the limitations of clinics accepting spine referrals for consultation, and patient fees for uninsured services provided by the clinics.
Please reference the referral guide. It is not known if the change is temporary or permanent.
Questions and concerns should be directed to the Calgary Zone FAST team at 1.833.553.3278 ext. 4 (Monday – Friday, 7:30 a.m. – 3:45 p.m.) or emailed to [email protected].
