I called the Breast Imaging location, but they said that since my last routine mammogram was not within the last 3 months, I would also need a diagnostic mammogram for my right breast only. They couldn't set up an appointment for me until they got a doctor's order for the mammogram.
I called my doctor's office and explained that the Breast Imaging location was requesting an order for a diagnostic mammogram. They confirmed they would send over an electronic order.
While waiting for the new order to go through, I called the referral line for my doctor's affiliated hospital to ask if I needed a referral for a diagnostic mammogram and an ultrasound. They explained that no referral is needed for testing.
After a couple hours, I called the Breast Imaging location again. They hadn't received the order yet. The woman on the phone was very kind, and she said she'd call me when they got the order.
The next morning, the Breast Imaging location called. They received the order, and I made an appointment for the next day for a diagnostic mammogram and an ultrasound.
