- Medically necessary diagnostic imaging studies interpreted by a Radiologist like Dr. Hu are typically covered by Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (AHCIP) in AB when prescribed by your referring physician and performed at an accredited medical facility. Some advanced or specialized interventional procedures may also be covered.

Coverage depends on the specific procedure and clinical indication. Patients are advised to verify with their healthcare provider or the imaging facility regarding coverage details.
- Do I need a referral from my doctor to have an imaging study interpreted by Dr. Hu?
- Yes, almost all diagnostic imaging tests (like X-rays, CT, MRI, ultrasounds) and interventional radiology procedures require a formal request or requisition from your family doctor, specialist, or other authorized healthcare provider. Dr. Hu provides expert interpretation of these physician-ordered studies.
A valid referral ensures proper clinical context and appropriateness of the imaging study, facilitating accurate diagnosis and billing compliance.
- Is there general preparation needed before an imaging appointment?
- Preparation varies significantly based on the type of imaging test. Some require fasting for several hours, others may need you to drink water for a full bladder, or avoid certain medications. You will receive specific instructions from the clinic or hospital when your appointment is scheduled. It's very important to follow these instructions carefully to ensure the quality of your exam and your safety.
- How will I get the results of my imaging exam?
- After your imaging exam is completed, Dr. Hu (or a colleague Radiologist) will carefully review the images and prepare a detailed report. This report is sent directly to the physician who ordered your test (your referring doctor). Your referring doctor will then discuss the results with you, typically at a follow-up appointment, and explain what they mean in the context of your overall health. Please allow a few business days for the report to reach your doctor.
Patients are encouraged to discuss their results directly with their referring physician, who will interpret the findings in the context of their overall health status.
- Can I speak to Dr. Hu directly about my images?
- Typically, the Radiologist's detailed report is sent to your referring physician, who is best positioned to discuss the results with you in the context of your overall health and other test findings. While direct consultation with the interpreting Radiologist is uncommon for routine diagnostic imaging, for Interventional Radiology procedures, Dr. Hu (if performing the procedure) would discuss it with you beforehand.
