High-tech imaging (scanning) procedures are one of the most rapidly rising medical expenses. The following high-tech scans are not only causing premiums to increase; most are exposing patients to higher doses of radiation.
Health Advantage has implemented a program that requires physicians to obtain an authorization when ordering outpatient high-tech imaging procedures for their patients. Physicians are not required to obtain an authorization when these services are performed in an emergency room, observation bed stay or for patients who are hospitalized.
The approval process generally is fast and efficient but, as with any new program, there have been minor glitches. Health Advantage is working to simplify the process for physicians.
