Padcev (enfortumab vedotin-ejfv) is a specialty oncology medication that cannot be prescribed by a general practitioner or primary care physician. Because it is an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) approved specifically for urothelial cancer, it requires a trained oncology specialist to prescribe and an equipped infusion center to administer.
If you or a loved one has been diagnosed with bladder cancer or another urothelial cancer and needs Padcev, here's how to find the right specialist in 2026.
What Type of Doctor Prescribes Padcev?
Padcev is primarily prescribed by:
Medical oncologists: Physicians specializing in cancer treatment using drugs, who manage the majority of Padcev prescriptions
Urologic oncologists: Surgeons specializing in urologic cancers who may co-manage treatment or prescribe systemic therapy
Hematologist-oncologists: At some community cancer centers, hematologist-oncologists treat solid tumor cancers including urothelial carcinoma
Oncology NPs/PAs under oncologist supervision: Nurse practitioners and physician assistants within oncology practices may write orders for Padcev under physician oversight

How to Find an Oncologist Who Treats Urothelial Cancer Near You
Here are the best resources for locating a qualified oncologist who manages urothelial or bladder cancer:
NCI-Designated Cancer Centers: The National Cancer Institute's directory at cancer.gov/research/infrastructure/cancer-centers/find lists comprehensive cancer centers across the U.S. with oncologists experienced in treating complex bladder and urothelial cancers.
ASCO's Doctor Finder: The American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) offers a doctor finder at asco.org that allows you to search by specialty and location.
Bladder Cancer Advocacy Network (BCAN): BCAN's website (bcan.org) offers resources for finding bladder cancer specialists and connecting with patient navigators who can help you identify specialists.
Your insurance company's provider directory: Always verify that an oncologist and their affiliated infusion center are in-network before scheduling, to avoid unexpected out-of-network costs.
What to Look for in a Padcev Prescriber
When choosing an oncologist to manage your Padcev treatment, consider:
Experience with urothelial carcinoma and specifically with antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs)
Affiliation with an infusion center equipped to handle hazardous oncology drugs
Familiarity with Padcev toxicity monitoring (skin reactions, glucose monitoring, peripheral neuropathy assessment)
Experience navigating insurance prior authorization and financial assistance programs for oncology biologics
Is Padcev Available via Telehealth?
Padcev itself cannot be administered via telehealth — it requires in-person IV infusion at a qualified facility. However, many oncology practices now offer telehealth appointments for:
Initial consultation and treatment planning visits
Follow-up and toxicity monitoring visits between infusion cycles
Lab result reviews and dose modification discussions
For patients in rural areas, a hybrid approach — telehealth visits with a major cancer center specialist paired with local infusion center administration — is becoming increasingly common and can make Padcev treatment more accessible.
What to Bring to Your First Oncology Appointment
To make the most of your first appointment with an oncologist who may prescribe Padcev, bring:
Pathology reports confirming urothelial carcinoma diagnosis
Imaging studies (CT, PET, or MRI)
Prior treatment records (surgery, chemotherapy, immunotherapy)
Current medication list (to screen for CYP3A4 interactions)
Recent lab work including comprehensive metabolic panel and HbA1c
Insurance card and prior authorization documentation if already started
Once you have your prescription, medfinder can help locate infusion centers near you that can administer Padcev.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. Padcev (enfortumab vedotin) must be prescribed by a qualified oncology specialist — typically a medical oncologist or urologic oncologist. It also requires administration at a specialized infusion center equipped to handle hazardous oncology drugs. A referral to an oncologist is required.
Use the NCI Cancer Center Finder (cancer.gov/research/infrastructure/cancer-centers/find), ASCO's Doctor Finder (asco.org), or the Bladder Cancer Advocacy Network (bcan.org) to locate oncologists who specialize in urothelial cancer. Always verify your insurance's in-network provider directory as well.
Yes, for planning and monitoring visits. Many oncology practices now offer telehealth for initial consultations and follow-up visits between infusions. However, Padcev infusions themselves must be given in person at a qualified infusion center by trained healthcare professionals.
Timing depends on how quickly insurance prior authorization is approved. Once PA is in place, the infusion center typically needs 3-5 business days to order and receive the drug. Your oncologist's team can initiate PA and drug ordering simultaneously to minimize delays. PADCEV Support Solutions (1-888-402-0627) can expedite the process.
