No Primary Care Doctor? You Can Still Get Imaging Orders.
Millions of Americans don't have a primary care doctor — or face weeks-long waits to see one. You don't need a PCP to get a diagnostic imaging or lab order.

Why So Many Patients Don't Have a PCP
Having no primary care provider is increasingly common. You're not alone if you're in any of these situations:
Between jobs or insurance plans
Recently relocated and haven't established care
Your previous PCP retired or closed their practice
PCP waitlists are months long in your area
Self-employed or freelance — never had a consistent provider
Avoiding in-person visits due to cost or access
What You Actually Need for Imaging
Imaging centers don't require your primary care doctor specifically. They require a current provider order from any licensed medical provider — including telehealth providers.
The key distinction:
- ✗ You do NOT need a specific doctor you've seen before
- ✗ You do NOT need a referral from your PCP
- ✓ You DO need an order from a licensed medical provider
- ✓ A telehealth provider order is equally valid at imaging centers
How the Process Works
Book a telehealth consultation ($40)
Schedule a 10-minute virtual appointment with a licensed medical provider through Diagnostic Orders Direct. No prior relationship needed.
Describe your symptoms and history
The provider asks about your symptoms, when they started, any prior imaging or tests, and your medical history. Be thorough and honest — this guides their clinical assessment.
Provider reviews appropriateness
Based on your clinical presentation, the provider determines whether the requested imaging is medically appropriate. Orders are not automatic — clinical judgment applies.
Receive your order and schedule
If approved, your imaging order is sent digitally within 1 business day. Take it to the imaging center of your choice and schedule your appointment.
