Are Referrals Meant To Be Vague?

The PCP I’ve had for the past two years is nothing short of amazing and willing to send off referrals to just about anyone I feel necessary (I have several complex and semi-rare medical conditions). But most of these referrals are rejected (lots of different specialists, hospitals, offices, medical issues, etc). I’ve only just learned how to view these referrals through my records and I’m seeing they’re incredibly vague. I have no idea if this is how they’re meant to be?

They all include my information, attached my most recent PCP visit notes (even though the visit isn’t always relevant to the particular referral in question) and then my diagnosis’s (that pertain to whichever specialist the referral is being sent to). But nothing further. No elaboration, no note, no reasonings. Is this the norm?

Maybe I should have posted this in r/NoStupidQuestions lol

Hopefully you guys won’t judge my ignorance. I’m a newly disable and chronically ill woman, just trying to understand the medical system to the best of my abilities so I can adjust my expectations accordingly! 🖤

If it’s important - I’m in US
