Mobile X-rays must be ordered by a licensed medical provider. This includes doctors (MD or DO), nurse practitioners, and physician assistants. Facilities like nursing homes, assisted living, home health, or hospice can request an X-ray, but they must have a doctor’s signed order. Patients and family members can ask for one, but a provider must approve it before it can be scheduled or billed to insurance.
Results will be FAXed to both the ordering agency and referring provider.
