- A concern that needs hands-on examination before imaging can be selected
- Requests for imaging without sufficient clinical information

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Can I request a particular scan?
You can discuss it, but the doctor determines whether imaging is clinically indicated and which modality is appropriate.
Is the imaging itself included?
No. EUCA MD provides the consultation and, when appropriate, a referral. The imaging provider sets its own availability, eligibility and fees.
