As part of their evaluation of the patient, psychiatrists are one of only a few mental health professionals who may conduct physical examinations, order and interpret laboratory tests and EEG’s, and may order brain imaging scans such as CT or CAT, MRI, and PET scanning. Clinical psychologists who focus on treating mental health, specialize in evaluating patients and providing psychotherapy, and may be trained to administer and interpret psychological testing.

Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioners provide a full range of primary mental health care services including assessment and diagnosis of patients with mental illness. Treatment modalities include both medication and psycho-therapeutic management.
• Radiology
  When you get services from an in-network hospital or ambulatory surgical center, certain providers may be out-of-network. In these cases, the most those providers may bill you is your plan’s in-network cost-sharing amount. This applies to emergency medicine, anesthesia, pathology, radiology, laboratory, neonatology, assistant surgeon, hospitalist, or intensivist services. These providers can’t balance bill you and may not ask you to give up your protections not to be balance billed.
