Where do I send MSI members for outpatient services?
• Capitated services (CT, PET and PET/CT, MRI, MRA and X-ray of the orbits) must be provided at West Coast Radiology service locations, or MSI contracted hospitals. These procedures require authorization. Laboratory: These services are provided through Quest Diagnostics. For a list of service locations call (800) 377-8448, select option 2 and enter a zip code. Laboratory services may also be provided at contracted hospitals, and do not require authorization. • Non-capitated services (routine X-ray, mammography, non-invasive ultrasound, cardiac tests [EKG, Treadmill, stress echo, nuclear studies] pulmonary function studies, barium enema/swallow, and intravenous pyelogram) may be performed in contracted hospitals or in the physician’s office, and do not require authorization. Note: A list of contracted hospitals is available in the MSI Provider Manual on this website (Provider Downloads/Alerts).
