What does the result of a diagnostic study being signed trigger?

The signing of a diagnostic study typically indicates that the study is complete and that the professional fees associated with interpreting or conducting that study are now due. When a healthcare professional signs off on a diagnostic report, it signifies their review and endorsement of the findings, which triggers the billing process for the services rendered.

When we consider the context of the other options, the review process and the sending of notifications to residents are more procedural actions that may follow but are not directly triggered by the signing itself. Similarly, adding an addendum pertains to additional information that may be required after the initial report, which again is not an immediate consequence of the signing. The primary purpose of signing is to acknowledge the completion of the study and initiate the appropriate financial processes.
