Referring provider FAQs
Frequently asked questions
How do I send an order?
Upload it through our secure order form, fax it to the scheduling line, or send it through the provider portal. We confirm receipt the same business day.
How fast are reports returned?
Routine studies are typically reported within 24-48 hours. STAT reads are available on request, and critical findings are phoned to the ordering provider immediately.
Do you handle prior authorization?
Yes. Our authorization team works the request with the payer and keeps your office updated on status. See the authorization process page for typical timelines.
Can I compare against prior studies?
Priors performed at Lucent are linked automatically. Outside priors can be uploaded with the order so the radiologist reads with full context.
