Searching for an Amazon Doctor for an Imaging Order?

Patients sometimes search for an "Amazon doctor" or general virtual doctor when what they actually need is a provider order before scheduling MRI, CT, ultrasound, lab, or EKG. DOD offers a more focused option: a $40 virtual provider review for diagnostic order requests.

Disclaimer: Diagnostic Orders Direct is not affiliated with Amazon, Amazon Clinic, Amazon One Medical, SesameCare, RadiologyAssist, SimonMed, or any imaging center or laboratory. DOD provides independent virtual provider review for diagnostic order requests when medically appropriate.

A General Virtual Doctor Search vs. a Diagnostic Order Review

When patients search for an "Amazon doctor" or "online doctor" before scheduling imaging, they're often looking for one thing: a provider who will review their symptoms and issue an imaging or lab order. That's different from a general primary care visit.

DOD is not positioned as superior to general telehealth overall — it is more focused for the diagnostic order review step.

What DOD Can Review

DOD provides virtual provider review for diagnostic order requests including:

MRI (brain, spine, joints, abdomen, pelvis)
CT scan (head, chest, abdomen, pelvis, sinuses)
Ultrasound (abdominal, pelvic, vascular, thyroid)

Mammogram
DEXA / bone density

Where the Order May Be Used

Imaging center or lab of the patient's choice

The order is a standalone medical document you may take to any facility that accepts it.

Cash-pay / self-pay imaging centers

Many patients use DOD orders at low-cost self-pay imaging centers. Pricing varies by facility and is not related to the $40 DOD review fee.

Outpatient imaging centers and hospital outpatient departments

Standard imaging facilities that accept telehealth provider orders.

Facility acceptance varies

Some facilities have specific requirements. The patient is responsible for confirming acceptance before scheduling.
