Not having a primary care doctor can make even a straightforward diagnostic request feel complicated.
You may need an MRI, CT scan, laboratory test, X-ray, ultrasound, or another diagnostic study, but the facility may require an order from a licensed healthcare provider before it will schedule you.
If you do not have an established PCP, your usual doctor is unavailable, or the next available appointment is weeks away, an online provider review can provide another option.
Diagnostic Orders Direct offers virtual reviews of diagnostic order requests for patients in supported states. The service charges $40 for the provider consultation and review. If the licensed provider determines that the requested diagnostic study is medically appropriate, an order may be issued for use at an imaging center or laboratory that accepts outside provider orders.
