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

Medically necessary diagnostic imaging studies interpreted by a Radiologist like Dr. Ferre 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. Ferre?

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

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

I'm concerned about radiation exposure. Are X-rays and CT scans safe?

Patient safety is our top priority. Radiologists and technologists are trained to use the lowest radiation dose necessary to obtain high-quality diagnostic images (this is known as the ALARA principle - As Low As Reasonably Achievable). While X-rays and CT scans do use ionizing radiation, the amount for most diagnostic exams is carefully controlled and the benefit of an accurate diagnosis generally far outweighs the very small potential risk. If you have specific concerns, please discuss them with your referring doctor or the imaging staff before your exam.
