Questions From Physicians

Is this a full diagnostic study or a screening?

A full diagnostic study. Every echocardiogram is a complete study with Doppler (CPT 93306), and the carotid, leg and renal studies are complete bilateral duplex exams, the same protocols a hospital lab performs. They are not limited screening scans, and the signed report is one you can act on.

Who interprets the studies, and what are their credentials?

Glenn Gandelman, MD, MPH, FACC, FASE: a board-certified cardiologist, certified in echocardiography by the National Board of Echocardiography, and a Registered Physician in Vascular Interpretation (RPVI). He is licensed in Maine and reads every study in his own lab, accredited by the IAC in echocardiography and vascular testing.

Are studies performed to IAC standards?

Yes. Every study is acquired to IAC echocardiography and vascular protocols by our ARDMS-registered sonographer (RDCS, RVT), who has nearly 20 years of experience, and is interpreted in Dr. Gandelman's IAC-accredited lab.

What do my patients pay as a partner practice's patients?

$297 per study in Falmouth through your practice's page, instead of the standard $397. Patients pay at booking; there is no insurance billing, and they receive an itemized receipt with CPT codes they can submit to their insurer.

How do we become a partner, and does it cost anything?

It is free. Register on this page and within one business day you receive your practice's own referral page and partner code. BlackPoint never pays or accepts fees for referrals; the partner rate is a discount for your patients only.

Is this self-pay only?

Yes — BlackPoint is a direct-pay service. No insurance billing, no prior auth. So there is no approval wait. We provide itemized receipts with CPT codes that patients can submit to their insurer for potential reimbursement.

Can reports come to my office?

Yes. When your patient names your practice, the signed report goes to your office as well as to the patient, by encrypted email. Including your office email on the order form makes it certain.

What if my patient needs urgent imaging?

BlackPoint is for scheduled outpatient studies, not emergencies. For chest pain, stroke signs or sudden symptoms, send the patient to the emergency department or call 911. If a patient needs a study soon, call us at (207) 409-7797 and we will find the earliest opening.

Which modalities are available?

Echocardiogram, carotid duplex, AAA ultrasound, venous duplex, arterial duplex, and renal arterial ultrasound — all available individually or as bundled packages.

How do I refer a patient for cardiac imaging in Maine?

You can refer by downloading and completing our physician order form, or simply telling your patient to book online at blackpointdiagnostics.com/booking or call (207) 409-7797. No prior authorization or referral number is needed.

What is the turnaround time for results?

All studies are reviewed by a board-certified cardiologist and written reports are delivered within 24–48 hours via HIPAA-compliant encrypted email.

Does BlackPoint accept insurance?

BlackPoint is a direct-pay service. Patients pay at the time of booking — no insurance billing, no prior authorization. This is what allows us to schedule within days rather than weeks. We provide itemized receipts with CPT codes that patients can submit to their insurer for potential reimbursement.

What areas does BlackPoint serve?

Studies are done at our Falmouth imaging center, 170 US Route 1, Suite 190. We also scan on-site at a patient's home or workplace across Southern Maine, and at partner practices.
