- Are imaging studies interpreted by Dr. Regan covered by Medical Services Plan (MSP) in BC?
- Medically necessary diagnostic imaging studies interpreted by a Radiologist like Dr. Regan are typically covered by Medical Services Plan (MSP) in BC 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 Medical Services Plan (MSP) or the imaging clinic/hospital.
- Do I need a referral from my doctor to have an imaging study interpreted by Dr. Regan?
- 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. Regan provides expert interpretation of these physician-ordered studies.
- Why might I need an injection of 'contrast' or 'dye' for my scan?
- Contrast material (often called 'dye', though it's usually clear) is a special substance that can be injected intravenously (or sometimes taken orally or rectally) to help certain organs, blood vessels, or tissues stand out more clearly on imaging exams like CT or MRI. It can help Dr. Regan see abnormalities that might otherwise be hidden. Not all scans require contrast; it's used when it can provide important additional diagnostic information.
- How will I get the results of my imaging exam?
- After your imaging exam is completed, Dr. Regan (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.
