Before contacting the provider

Four things worth confirming.

  1. Whether this route is available to you.
    The provider decides eligibility using its own clinical criteria.
  2. Whether a referral or clinician order is required.
    Direct access does not mean the same thing everywhere.
  3. Your likely costs.
    Ask about facility, physician, anesthesia, pathology and follow-up charges.
  4. Preparation and transportation.
    Use only the treating provider's instructions.
