What to Provide for a Case Review

To make sure we can provide an appropriate referral and evaluation,
we request the following for review:

A clinical summary or clinical notes.
Relevant/most recent imaging studies such as CT scans, MRI scans, x-rays, and angiograms (Actual films/scans must be available at the appointment since accurate
clinical assessment cannot be based on the dictated, paper report.)
Insurance and demographics information
