Frequently
Asked Questions |
How can I find out the extent of my
radiology utilization and cost?
Your claims data will require in-depth analysis. We ask that you compile
your radiology claims data over an extended period of time, say one or
two years, to get an accurate picture of your utilization. For an explanation
of this process, and to receive our data request form, please
contact the regional new business development director for your region.
How do my radiology utilization and
cost compare with other healthplans?
MedSolutions can show you how your data stacks up with your competitors.
We have data collected from plans across the country, in your region,
and often in your local market. Blind comparisons can reveal just how
your radiology utilization and cost compare with these other healthplans.
What types of financing options are
available?
MedSolutions offers 3 basic funding structures, including a full-risk
capitation, risk share, and fee-for-service. Our
Pricing section will give you more detail about each of these arrangements.
Can MedSolutions provide radiology
management anywhere in the United States?
Yes, MedSolutions currently provides radiology management in several
states across the country, and has contracted with providers at a national
level to provide radiology services across the country.
What types of imaging studies have
physicians actually ordered inappropriately?
MedSolutions receives requests regularly from physicians who aren't sure
exactly which procedure to order, or how extensive the imaging should
be. The goal is always to minimize patient exposure to that which is absolutely
necessary. Each and every diagnostic imaging study should aid in diagnosis
or alter patient treatment in some way.
With that in mind, consider a request for
a full Sinus CT evaluation. In most instances when this study is
requested by a Primary Care Physician, it is for the purpose of screening
for significant sinus disease that may require referral to an ENT physician.
Thus a limited CT Sinus, consisting primarily of Coronal views
of the sinuses and most particularly of the ostiomeatal complex is the
preferred study. In most instances, the limited exam is acceptable to
the referring physician and this is the study that is authorized for initial
evaluation of sinus disease.
