Are doctors receptionists supposed to tell you your mri results over the phone?

Depends on the...: It depends on the type of practice and the personal choice of the doctor. A patient should be happy to return to the office for a follow-up visit to get any type of test results. Some doctors or medical groups send out results by phone or online. Receptionists are non-medical staff, so if a patient gets a result from a receptionist, the patient should be sure not to ask a medical question.
