Guest guest Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Yes.....some of the managed care contracts do stipulate that the gatekeeper has to order all advanced diagnostics. It's in the fine print of the contract. Some companies just require pre-authorization and allow DC to order, and others no pre-authorization. Best to check it out before hand, and even better to have the patient call and ask if the DC can order. Don White, RN, DC In a message dated 3/2/2012 3:42:14 P.M.
