Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get a brain MRI order without seeing a neurologist?
Yes. A virtual provider review is conducted via our online intake. If medically appropriate, a brain MRI order may be issued without an in-person neurologist visit.
Is the brain MRI order guaranteed?
No. Orders are issued only when medically appropriate as determined by the licensed provider. The provider may recommend a different study or no order.
Does the $40 include the brain MRI cost?
No. The $40 covers the virtual provider review only. MRI machine time, radiologist interpretation, contrast, and facility fees are separate and vary by imaging center.
Do I need contrast for a brain MRI?
Whether contrast is appropriate depends on the clinical indication. The reviewing provider will assess appropriateness. Contrast MRI may require additional screening for renal function and allergies.
Can I use the order at any imaging center?
You may take your order to the imaging facility of your choice. Facility acceptance is subject to that facility and outside DOD's control. Confirm acceptance before scheduling.
How quickly will I receive my order?
Virtual consultations are typically completed in 10 minutes once you submit your intake, with most orders issued same day.
