Patient FAQs
Frequently asked questions
What should I bring to my appointment?
Bring a photo ID, your insurance card, your physician's order if you have a paper copy, and any prior imaging on disc. Arrive about 15 minutes early for check-in.
Do I need a referral?
Most insurance-covered studies require an order from a licensed provider. Several self-pay preventive screenings can be booked directly, call us and we will confirm what applies to your scan.
How long does a scan take?
X-ray takes about 10 minutes, ultrasound and mammography 20-30 minutes, CT 10-20 minutes, and MRI 20-60 minutes depending on the body region and whether contrast is used.
When will I get my results?
A board-certified radiologist typically finalizes routine reports within 24-48 hours. Your ordering provider receives the report directly, and you can request a copy for your records.
How do I pay my bill?
You can pay online through our billing page, by phone, or in person at the front desk. Self-pay pricing is available up front before you schedule.
