Hi everyone,
In our IDTF, we perform digital mammograms. There are times when these lead to additional films, or a diagnostic mammogram on the same day, or the next. Right now I'm needing to find written documentation indicating whether the radiologist can order a breast ultrasound, after abnormal mammogram findings, without a written order from the patient's provider. I'm telling the IDTF no, however I don't want to stop them if I'm incorrect in my answer. Anyone able to direct me to information other than Medicare mammogram guidelines or ACR mammogram guidelines?
Thanks,
Kris
