In a small mixed clinic with X-ray and lab services, there is no dedicated front desk. Each provider/technologist manages their own patients and related admin tasks.

For the X-ray side, this includes checking in patients, answering X-ray-related calls, scanning/uploading requisitions, billing uninsured patients, handling report inquiries, and faxing X-ray reports to family doctors.

This seems more common in lab/phlebotomy settings, but less commonly discussed for outpatient X-ray. Curious how common this setup is in radiology clinics and where people draw the line between normal patient-flow duties and excessive admin work? Is that a red flag?
