Not accepted into Bronchiectasis Clinic
Hello, I was recently diagnosed with bronchiectasis and potentially NTM (awaiting sputum sample results). Based on everything I read, I requested a referral to the UNC Bronchiectasis & NTM Clinic, in order to take advantage of the expertise and integrated care available at a specialized clinic. However, I was not accepted into the clinic (reasons not provided). Has anyone else experienced this and do you have any advice for how to get accepted into the clinic? Thank you.

Kath,
What reason did they say that you were not accepted? You have the diagnosis. I would call and speak with the office manager to inquire about the situation. Please keep us posted.
