Medically necessary diagnostic imaging studies interpreted by a Radiologist like Dr. Stevenson 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 nature of the procedure and the setting where it is performed. Your healthcare provider or the imaging facility can provide detailed information about coverage eligibility.

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

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

This ensures that the imaging is appropriately directed and that the results are integrated into your overall care plan.

What is Interventional Radiology?

Interventional Radiology is a subspecialty of radiology where physicians use medical imaging (like X-ray, CT, ultrasound, MRI) to guide minimally invasive procedures for diagnosis (e.g., biopsies) or treatment of a wide range of conditions in nearly every organ system. These procedures are often alternatives to open surgery. Dr. Stevenson specializes in these image-guided procedures.

He performs or facilitates procedures that are less invasive, have shorter recovery times, and aim to improve patient safety.

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