I am scheduled to go to NJH in January. I received the packet and the schedule. I start with chest xray and high resolution chest CT scan and see the doctor on the third day. I believe this is a routine schedule they send. I had my CT scan in September and really do not want to be radiated again- how do you communicate this to your assigned doctor and can you avoid certain tests? Did anybody have the same situation and how did you deal with it? I would be grateful for ideas.

NJH insists on their own CT's and other imaging. Make sure your insurance is well covered there and make sure they get prior authorizations. I had to get my prior imaging burned onto CD's and hand carry them to NJH. They still scheduled me for another CT until my Anthem insurance denied the authorization and I went back to my original provider for the CT.
