Find a urologist to prescribe Caverject

• 1

  Talk to your family doctor or internist and ask for a referral to an urologist in your area. Although some cases of ED are manageable by an internist or a family physician, you may have a specific need that requires a specialist. Ask your doctor for a few names of local urologists to which he would send friends or family members.

  Call your health insurance provider and ask for a list of in-network urologists in your area. All health insurance companies maintain lists of doctors -- both generalists and specialists -- that are in a particular network. Contact information for your health insurance provider is available on your health insurance card. Most providers also offer searchable resources on their websites. Check online to see if your provider offers a tool to help you find a local urologist who accepts your health insurance.

  Take advantage of online resources developed by the American Urology Association, the professional organization that represents urologists nationwide. The AUA's patient portal offers an online tool to find a urologist; you can search by Zip code or by specialty area (such as ED).
