Getting a diagnostic imaging order does not always have to start with an in-person office visit. Imaging Orders Direct provides a virtual consultation where licensed providers review imaging requests and determine whether an order is medically appropriate. The service is designed to give patients a more direct way to address the order step before scheduling their imaging.
This guide explains how the Imaging Orders Direct virtual consultation works, what happens during each step, what the consultation includes, and what to expect after an order is issued.
How Imaging Orders Direct’s Virtual Consultation Works
Imaging Orders Direct uses a three-step process to help patients obtain diagnostic imaging orders through a virtual consultation.
The process starts with a phone or video consultation, followed by a secure intake where patients provide their history, symptoms, and consent. A licensed provider then reviews the request and determines whether an imaging order is medically appropriate.
