referrable

Able to mention

Referrable means capable of being referred—directed elsewhere for attention, consideration, or decision.

A patient may be referrable to a specialist; a question may be referrable to a committee.

The word is uncommon, with referable being the more standard spelling, though both forms appear in formal writing.
