Check attachments for RX/Insurance Auth or ask the patient if they have the RX/Auth with them. Confirm what it says or request for a Secure Pic.
If the RX just says the name of the exam but the contrast is not indicated (e.g. MR Lumbar or MR Knee R), that is considered as without contrast exam. For more information, see Referral Review. If their RX is not on file and the patient does not have it, upcode the exam to With and Without contrast. Put Additional Pre-Pro notes.

Schedule 5 business days out, leave Additional Pre Pro notes. For Kern Region, use Additional Pre Pro Labs. Remind the patient we need lab works by the time of the appointment. If the patient wants to schedule after the lab appointment and will just call back, put notes, and add Called Referring in the Contact Log and Next Follow Up Type.
What is the workflow if patient is not done with labworks and no appointment for it yet?

Call RPO to inform them that we haven't received the Medicare RX or that the Medicare RX is not completely filled out.
Tell them that if the form is missing or incomplete, we will have to reschedule or cancel the exam. If RPO does not have a copy of the Medicare RX form, continue scheduling the patient and add Pre Pro so that the PSR can fax the form to them. If RPO is not available, continue scheduling the patient and add Additional Pre Pro. Add an Order Note that you tried to call RPO for the complete RX.
What do you do if the Medicare RX is not on file or not completely filled out for an LDCT exam.
