Status Tabs Definitions

It is important to understand that every recommendation has three key dates:

  • The ‘Initial Exam Date’ is the date of the radiology exam that produced the follow-up recommendation
  • The ‘Min Due Date’ is the earliest date that a follow-up must be performed per the radiologists’ recommendation (i.e. if the radiologist recommends a follow-up in 3-6 months, Min Due Date would be 3 months)
  • The ‘Max Due Date’ is the latest date that a follow-up must be performed per the radiologists’ recommendation (i.e. if the radiologist recommends a follow-up in 3-6 months, Max Due Date would be 6 months)

We use these dates to build out a timeline for each unique follow-up recommendation and to group each recommendation into tabs at the top of the ‘Follow-Ups” page:

Manually Reviewed

The navigator has manually updated the status of the recommendation via the ‘Action Status’ dropdown. This includes:

Acknowledged
Not Clinically Necessary
Completed Elsewhere
Patient Deceased

Navigator Closed
Needs Prior Auth
Needs Prescription

Please note that once a user manually changes the status, we no longer update the status automatically on a time basis. However, we will update the status to Adherent, Completed before/after, and Scheduled if any of those events occur.
