Getting your medical records from radiology imaging exams can be a frustrating task. Thanks to the Cures Act, imaging centers and hospitals are required by law to release your radiology imaging results immediately once they are ready. However, accessing your radiology images can still be a hassle. Some facilities will only provide access to the DICOM imaging files if you directly request them, often charging fees to burn a CD that you must pick up or have mailed it to you. But what good is a CD? Most laptops haven't included a CD drive since 2012, and many specialists' offices either can't or won't use the CD you bring to your appointment. While more imaging facilities and hospitals are giving patients access to digital versions of their medical imaging exams, most patient portals only allow you to view the images, not share or download the files.
Fortunately, MDView makes it easy to obtain your medical images. These requests are typically fulfilled within 24 hours and include an electronic transfer of the images, which MDView then uploads to your account. This service is free and can be initiated once you've registered for your MDView account. Simply click the "Have MDView Get My Exam" button on the homepage of your account, and electronically complete and sign the medical record release form. Once this form is received, the MDView team will contact the imaging facilities you list to request the exams you need reviewed by an expert radiologist specialized in your exam.
When creating a study for a medical imaging exam second opinion, you can share the images, medical records, and final second opinion report with your specialist or another physician. This gives them access to your imaging exam in a diagnostic DICOM image viewer, without the need to bring a CD to the specialist's office. They will also have access to the expert second opinion report you receive. Subscribers to the MDView Vault service can share their medical records and imaging exams with any email addresses they choose, without purchasing a second opinion report. Using MDView Vault as a repository for all your medical imaging exams, medical records, visit notes, and more, you can share these records with anyone, anywhere, for easy online access. You can even track and manage who you've shared each study with, see when it was last viewed, and remove access at any time.
Getting and sharing access to your medical imaging exams and medical records should not be difficult, and MDView is here to help streamline the process for you.
