- Are imaging studies interpreted by Dr. Goyal covered by Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (AHCIP) in AB?
- Medically necessary diagnostic imaging studies interpreted by a Radiologist like Dr. Goyal 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. It's always best to confirm specific coverage details with Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan (AHCIP) or the imaging clinic/hospital.
Coverage policies depend on the nature of the procedure and the patient's circumstances, so consulting with your healthcare provider or the billing department can provide clarity.
- Do I need a referral from my doctor to have an imaging study interpreted by Dr. Goyal?
- 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. Goyal provides expert interpretation of these physician-ordered studies.
Having a proper referral ensures appropriate testing and billing procedures and helps facilitate timely diagnosis.
- 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. Goyal or your referring doctor will determine which test is best for your specific medical question.
- How will I get the results of my imaging exam?
- After your imaging exam is completed, Dr. Goyal (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.
Follow-up with your healthcare provider is essential to understand the results and next steps.
