Why New York Patients Use DOD
New York State has millions of uninsured and underinsured residents, particularly in New York City's outer boroughs — Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island — where large immigrant populations and gig workers often lack access to primary care. In Buffalo, Rochester, and Syracuse, patients may face long wait times for specialist referrals and primary care appointments.
New York City has one of the densest concentrations of imaging facilities in the world — from large academic medical center radiology departments to independent outpatient imaging centers in every borough. Many independent facilities in Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx operate on a cash-pay basis and require a valid order. Upstate New York (Buffalo, Rochester, Albany) has a mix of hospital-affiliated and independent outpatient imaging centers.

Why Imaging Centers in New York Require a Provider Order
Most imaging centers, outpatient radiology facilities, independent labs, and diagnostic testing centers in New York require a valid provider order before scheduling any diagnostic study. This includes MRI, CT, ultrasound, X-ray, mammogram, DEXA, EKG, and lab testing. The order must come from a licensed medical provider and document the clinical indication, the requested exam, and the relevant patient information.
DOD focuses specifically on this provider-review step — reviewing diagnostic order requests and issuing an order when a licensed provider determines it is medically appropriate, so the patient can move forward with scheduling at their chosen facility.
