A member asked:

Do some health insurances require you to be on levaquin (levofloxacin) for chr.sinus infect before authorizing a ct scan.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Insurance: This is possible, but without having access to every insurance company's policies it is difficult to know. They are trying to minimize unnecessary ct scans, which are not only expensive, but subject you to high and potentially dangerous radiation.
