We’ll call you when we receive your healthcare provider’s order
Many times, when we receive an imaging order from your healthcare provider, we’ll call you to set the appointment––so you won’t have to do anything at all.
How to call for an appointment
If you prefer to call to schedule an appointment, you can find the correct phone number on the Locations page of our website.
During the call, we will review your healthcare provider’s order and request your insurance information.
We will then schedule an appointment for you at a location near your home, work, or school, at a time that best fits your schedule.
After that, you will receive an appointment confirmation from us by text message. The text message will include a link so you can save time and pre-register before your appointment.
What happens after you request an appointment with us
Before your appointment, we will verify your insurance benefits and submit it for prior authorization to your insurance company.
For X-ray and Ultrasound imaging, this happens often on the same day, or the next.
For some scans, like CT and MRI scans, authorization usually requires a little longer. Depending on your insurance, authorization for these scans usually occurs within five days.
Please remember, sometimes insurance companies require other options before approving CT or MRI scans, such as X-rays, Ultrasound, medication, and/or physical therapy.
A day or two before your imaging appointment
One to two days before your appointment, our team will reach out to you to verify what is due financially at the time of your appointment.
We work with CareCredit for those patients who require financial assistance.
An appointment reminder is sent to you by text message 24 hours before your appointment. In this text message, there will be a link to the address of your imaging center, to make getting there easier.
On the day of your appointment
If you don’t have time to pre-register before your arrival, that’s OK: we’ll give you an electronic device to complete the necessary forms.
Scheduling an appointment at an American Health Imaging center is easy, convenient, and efficient. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at any of our locations.
