ignis Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 (edited) At my Hospital yesterday normal 4 months blood work [Diabetic] The CT department is closed [cleaning] till end of month and large backup said Dr..... He gave me a headed Hospital Order sheet signed by himself.......... 'CT Chest without contrast' - Lung nodule from CXR The Dr said to go to any clinic/Hospital to get it done, that was yesterday, I was to go back with the results today, tried 7 different places around my area.. All said I have to make an appointment to see there Drs 1st... I am also registered at 2 other local Hospitals both do not do CT Scans for non in patients ?? + Sai Noi Government Hospital said on the phone they do not do CT Scans [is that normal for a Hospital ?] CT Scan at my Hospital = 5.250 baht, all the others that I tried and can do = between 9,700 - 12,000 + there Dr fees 600 - 1.500. !! just 1 x Hospital will give me an appointment tomorrow, but will I get everything done the same day ? have made appointment again at my Hospital for Thursday, cannot get there again until mid next week. my Hospital takes 2 hours to get to + same to get back, next door works at the Hospital 3 days a week so go with them at 04:30.. Is it just the Receptionist that cannot see my Dr order that I must have an appointment to see there Dr first ?

Sheryl Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 You certainly cannot get a CT at a hospital without it being ordered by a doctor there first. And some smaller hospitals can't do it, period. Where you can get a CT done without needing to first see a doctor is at a stand-alone imaging center. I assume from the reference to Sai Noi Hospital that you are in Nonthaburi area. There is an imaging center in Bang Khae and also one on Rattanathibet Road, see here: https://www.mrithailand.com/en/contact-us-2/ Ct of the chest without contrast would probably cost in the range of 6,000 - 8,000 baht but call them to find out exactly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
