Virtual Consultation

Our virtual consultation service is a simple, affordable solution for anyone that needs a physician order.

Submit the form on this page along with a $40 payment and a provider licensed to prescribe diagnostic imaging will give you a call within four (4) business hours for a phone consultation. Based on your conversation, the provider will write the necessary imaging or lab work orders and send them to RadiologyAssist for scheduling.

You should receive a call within 4 business hours.
The times stated are typical and mostly true but not a guarantee. This is a relatively new and complex service that RadiologyAssist provides for our patients convenience. There are many moving parts and turn around times could be longer at times. We ask for your patience and understanding.

Business hours are Mon-Fri 9am – 5pm (CST). A request submitted at 4pm on Friday, should be completed by 12 pm Monday.

The all-inclusive cost of the virtual consult is $40. The virtual consultation service is intended to be an affordable option to receive a imaging referral.

While we meet out turn around times consistently, we are still not at a level where we can guarantee that 100% of consult requests submitted are turned around in a particular time. Please do not use this service for emergency situations.

No. Providers only write orders for what they deem medically appropriate.

RadiologyAssist uses third party telemedicine providers for this service. It has no control over which provider you will speak with. The only guarantee that we make is that the provider is licensed to write an order for diagnostic imaging if required.

Most imaging centers will hand patients reports upon request. Some select imaging centers insist that patients receive reports from the ordering physician. If this is the case, please call RadiologyAssist to obtain the report.
