Is there something like "hold and call" for any test like an x-ray or CAT scan, that needs to be done urgently on a patient before the patient leaves the office?

Subject: PS -Did you think to call a pharmacy? sm
This is what I did when something like this comes up. I know they want you to use the slightest amount possible, and usually never prescribe more than a small tube at a time. This is a very huge amount. I find pharmacists usually are very helpful if you don't ask them more than a few times a year. I would rather do this than say "a pound," just picture it in your head - that's a lot.

I had never heard of this myself so I looked it up on the Internet, and it is really interesting how they do all that work ahead of time and get things rolling, and then are ready for the patient coming in.
My thought would be Code STEMI as long as it was not in the diagnosis, and if that is the way the doctor dictated it. If he dictated that whole thing out, then it would have to be expanded, but Code STEMI sounds good to me.

....an "acute abdomen series." It is three plain x-rays - one of the abdomen with the patient flat (lying down), one of the abdomen with the patient standing upright, and a third x-ray of the chest to include the diaphragms (also with patient upright) so they can see if there is free air under the diaphragm (which can happen with bowel perforation in cases of diverticulitis, Crohn's, or other bowel diseases).

Anybody know the correct way to type this? It's a billing code dictated in the progress notes, which is done sometimes on one of my accounts. I've searched the web and found it spelled every way imaginable, the billers and coders board here looks abandoned, and search of boards turned up nothing.
I'm hoping someone out there in MT Land has the answer. Thanks!
