Collaborative Radiology Management
     Lowering Cost by Enhancing Physician Knowledge

Arming ordering physicians with the latest medical evidence about diagnostic imaging and radiation oncology empowers them to order the right tests and treatments at the right times. This reduces unnecessary exams, radiation exposure, and defensive medicine. By enhancing physician knowledge and emphasizing collaboration, RadConsult™ fuels sustained savings by changing long-term ordering patterns. And coordinating other HealthHelp programs through RadConsult can generate even greater savings.

HealthHelp pioneered consultative benefit management for diagnostic imaging and now offers radiation oncology services as part of RadConsult. The program authorizes complete radiation therapy treatment plans and individual imaging tests.

RadConsult puts the latest evidence-based medical information in ordering physicians’ hands via the pocket-sized Radiology Consultant for Oncology and Imaging. This helpful and well-known tool helps them choose options that offer the greatest clinical value with the lowest risk. Physicians submit requests using a quick and convenient on-line application, an integrated voice-response call system, or HealthHelp’s call center staffed by well-trained and qualified customer service representatives.

When exam requests and treatment plans don’t correlate with HealthHelp’s evidence-based guidelines, expert peer consultation is just a phone call away. Subspecialists with Thomas Jefferson University, the University of Washington, and other respected academic radiology departments lend credibility to RadConsult, which drives voluntary compliance.
