Radimed Health Care: Inception and Focus on Quality, Supply, and Services of Medical Equipments

Post-Exam Consultations:

Patients cannot directly consult with radiologists after exams. Radiologists analyze medical images and send results to the referring physician, who, being familiar with the patient's medical history, is better suited to discuss the findings.

CT Colonography vs. Colonoscopy:

A CT colonography, or virtual colonoscopy, utilizes CT scan technology to create virtual images of the colon. This method is less invasive than a traditional colonoscopy, as it doesn't require inserting a camera rectally.

Obtaining Exam Images:

Patients wishing to obtain copies of their exam images should inform the receptionist during their visit to receive them post-examination.

Side Effects of Injections:

Side effects vary depending on the type of injection administered. Generally, they are minimal, but it's crucial to inform the clinic of any allergies when scheduling an appointment.

Insurance Coverage Procedures:

For exams not covered by the Régie de l'assurance maladie du Québec (RAMQ), Radimed provides a detailed receipt during the visit. Patients can submit this receipt to their insurance provider for potential reimbursement.

Fasting Requirements:

Fasting before certain exams is necessary either to prevent nausea during injections or to ensure that food doesn't obstruct the visualization of specific internal organs.

Payment Methods:

Radimed accepts Visa, MasterCard, debit, or cash for exam payments.

Appointment Necessity:

While x-rays can be done without an appointment, other exams may require scheduling in advance.

MRI Costs:

MRI pricing varies based on the specific exam. Patients are advised to submit their requisition to receive a confirmed price.

Physician Requisition Requirement:

A physician's requisition is mandatory for all exams.
