Ordering a low-dose CT

Lung cancer accounts for nearly one quarter of all cancer deaths in America, killing more than 100,000 people a year. That’s why ECU Health has developed an initiative to fight this disease in eastern North Carolina. Our facilities in the region are offering low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) as an early screening tool.

Who qualifies?

This screening is not for everyone. Your patients may be eligible if they:

• Are between the ages of 50 and 77
• Have a smoking history of 20-pack years or greater (see chart)
• Are a current smoker or quit fewer than 15 years ago
• Have no signs or symptoms of lung cancer

Before sending an order for LDCT, please check if prior authorization is required for all patients with a commercial, Medicare Advantage or Medicaid plan.

For more information, reach out to your outreach liaison or email [email protected].
