One of my providers came to me with this question...... He is a PCP and wants patient to have routine Colonoscopy. He is considering the colonoscopy as an order instead of a referral. If he orders patient to have colonoscopy by an external provider can he still count test as an order??? I personally think it would only be consider as a referral since the GI or external provider will initially order test and patient will need to see GI/external provider before colonoscopy is performed. Any feedback is appreciated.
