How do I connect with a CAR T medical center?

Your oncologist or blood cancer specialist (hematologist) can refer you to a CAR T medical center for a consultation. Depending on your insurance, some centers may also accept self-referrals.

You can find CAR T medical centers at:

If you are self-referring, visit your preferred center’s website to learn if or how you can set up a consultation directly. They will check your insurance, and will request your medical history and recent test results. In the consultation, they will discuss whether you could be eligible for CAR T. If they have questions that you do not have answers to, they may ask for your permission to contact your oncologist.

What questions might I ask the CAR T treatment team?

To prepare for the consultation:

  • How long will I need to be at the CAR T medical center?
  • What should I expect and who will I meet? Is there a social worker at this center who can connect me with support and services?
  • Will I have more than one appointment as part of the consultation?
  • What should I bring to my appointment(s)? (e.g., insurance card, etc.)
  • If needed: Do you have any suggestions for parking, lodging, transportation, food, etc.?
  • What else can I do to prepare for the appointment(s)?
  • What kinds of tests might I take or need to retake?
  • How will we know if CAR T is right for me?
