Are imaging studies interpreted by Dr. King covered by Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON?

Medically necessary diagnostic imaging studies interpreted by a Radiologist like Dr. King are typically covered by Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) in ON when prescribed by your referring physician and performed at an accredited medical facility. Some advanced or specialized interventional procedures may also be covered. It's always best to confirm specific coverage details with Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP) or the imaging clinic/hospital.

Do I need a referral from my doctor to have an imaging study interpreted by Dr. King?

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. King provides expert interpretation of these physician-ordered studies.

What's the difference between an MRI and a CT scan?

Both are advanced imaging tests, but they use different technologies. CT (Computed Tomography) scans use X-rays and a computer to create detailed cross-sectional images; they are excellent for bone, lungs, abdomen, and detecting acute bleeding. MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) uses a powerful magnetic field and radio waves to create highly detailed images of soft tissues like the brain, spine, joints, and internal organs, without using ionizing radiation. Dr. King or your referring doctor will determine which test is best for your specific medical question.

Can I speak to Dr. King 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. King (if performing the procedure) would discuss it with you beforehand.
