Payment options at a glance

Insurance
If you want to use insurance, you need a doctor's order. Call your insurance company before your visit to ask whether the scan is covered and whether prior authorization is needed.
Workers' compensation and personal injury
We accept workers' compensation and personal injury cases. For a work injury, follow your employer's and insurer's approval process. For an accident claim, your attorney may coordinate payment with us. This is general information, not legal advice. Talk with your attorney about your case.
What to expect on scan day
Arrive a few minutes early to fill out a short safety form. Tell the team about any metal in your body, such as a pacemaker, joint replacement, clips or shrapnel. Bring any implant card you have. Many implants are safe for MRI, but the team must check each device first.
Wear comfortable clothes without metal, and leave jewelry at home. You may be asked to change into a gown.
During the scan you lie still on a padded table while the machine takes pictures. The machine is loud, so you will get ear protection. Most patients are in and out in about 35 minutes, depending on the exam. For more tips, see our complete guide to what to expect.
When will my results be ready?
A board-certified radiologist reads your images and writes a report. Results usually go to your referring doctor (or attorney, in injury cases) within 24 hours. Your doctor will go over the findings with you and explain next steps. You can also view your images and report through the MRI Portal.
