ORDERING GUIDE WHY THIS GUIDE IS IMPORTANT TO YOU AND YOUR PATIENTS This ordering guide is meant to assist you when ordering a study with Radiology Ltd. The guide includes common indications as well as recommendations for the most appropriate examination. It is our goal to provide you and your patients with the most appropriate and complete imaging examination. After the correct order is placed, examinations are further tailored to each patient’s specific condition. Thus, it is very important for the radiologist to be aware of the clinical question or specific condition in question so that the appropriate imaging can be performed. When ordering an examination please include pertinent history as well as signs or symptoms. Please refrain from ordering “r/o” exams such as “rule out tumor” or “rule out anomaly” unless history and signs/symptoms are included as well. Feel free to specify a particular entity or condition you would like the Radiologist to comment upon in the report. We have also included a list of most commonly used ICD-9 codes. Please note that this is not a complete list so you may need to refer to your most current ICD-9-CM and ICD-10- CM code book for the most appropriate code. The note section at the end of the ICD-9 codes list allows you to add additional codes that are commonly used in your practice. In the back of the guide, you will find a list of our contracted insurance and network plans as well as our imaging centers, addresses and phone numbers. Radiology Ltd. also has a Professional Relations Department with field representatives dedicated to serving your needs. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Professional Relations Department at (520) 901-6614 or at [email protected].
