We’re unable to read results over the phone.
Your results are sent to your referring physician as soon as the radiology report is finalized and signed. You will also receive a notification by text and email when your results are available, unless state requirements mandate a delay. Currently, patient notifications are delayed by 4 days in California and 3 days in Texas and Virginia.
Orders & scripts
Yes. We’ll accept your order even if it was written for a different imaging center — but any authorization must be issued to our name.
Your exam
Yes. Mammograms, breast ultrasounds and transvaginal ultrasounds are typically performed by female technologists. If you’d like a female technologist for any exam, ask when you schedule or call the imaging center before your visit, and we’ll do our best to accommodate.
Yes. It can be difficult to get accurate results if the prep instructions aren’t followed completely, so please reschedule if you’ve eaten within the fasting window.
Before your exam: cost & insurance
It depends on your exam and your insurance. Before your exam, our scheduling team answers cost questions. Ask when you schedule an appointment.
No insurance, or not using it? You can ask for a Good Faith Estimate.
We take most major health plans and Medicare. To make sure we take your plan, call your insurance company before your exam, or ask when you schedule an appointment. See Insurance & Authorization to learn more.
It’s the patient’s and referring physician’s responsibility to confirm pre-authorization requirements and obtain the required approval. We’ll contact you two business days before your appointment to reschedule if your insurance carrier hasn’t yet issued the authorization. If we haven’t received the pre-authorization number, please contact your insurance company and/or your referring physician’s office, then provide it to us.
After your exam: bills & payment
Call the billing phone number printed on your bill. Our billing team answers Monday to Friday, 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Eastern Time (5 a.m. to 5 p.m. Pacific Time), and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Eastern Time (7 a.m. to 11 a.m. Pacific Time).
Billing helps after your exam with your bill and payments. For questions before your exam, like cost or insurance, ask our scheduling team when you schedule.
