Detailed Orders, Faster Imaging — How to Submit a Compliant Exam Request
Submitting imaging orders may seem routine—but small errors or omissions can cause frustrating delays. At BTX, we want to make it easier for you to get what your patients need—quickly and without extra follow-up.
Here’s a checklist for compliant portable X-ray orders:
✔️ Patient’s full name
✔️ Date of birth (DOB)
✔️ Full name of the ordering clinician
✔️ Body part to be x-rayed
✔️ Number of views
✔️ Relevant signs, symptoms, or diagnosis
✔️ Reason the exam needs to be performed portably (e.g., non-ambulatory, contagious, frail)
For ultrasound orders: Don’t forget to fax the face sheet and the order promptly after submitting the request online or by phone.
Following this process helps us serve your facility—and your patients—better and faster.
