A member asked:
Can you request an x-ray or does your doctor need to order one?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Need doctor's order: X-rays and medical imaging are similar to prescription medications and require an order by your treating physician. Screening mammograms are the rare exception that a patient can simply request annually.
