How can I send previous films and reports to a new doctor?

With your written authorization, film copies or a CD will be sent to your new doctor. The new doctor's office can handle this with authorization, and they will contact us to request sending your films either by mail or courier. Patients also have the option to pick up their films directly, pending a release form being filled out.

What happens when patients want copies of their films and/or reports?

We maintain the original exam images and reports. Many physicians can access these via the web, whereas others may receive copies on film or CD. Patients or their providers can request examination reports and images directly. Attorneys can obtain copies of medical records upon receiving written patient authorization.

Does the patient need pre-authorization from his or her insurance provider?

Some insurance plans do require pre-authorization, so patients should check with their insurance provider or benefits administrator to confirm. We assist with this process as needed.

What do patients need to bring to their appointment to facilitate the payment process?

Patients should arrive with complete insurance information including their insurance card, ID, and group number, along with Medicare or Medicaid cards if applicable. For work-related injuries or automobile accidents, claim numbers, injury dates, and attorney or insurance carrier details should also be provided. A co-payment is necessary at the time of service, and discounts are available for exams not claimed with insurance that are paid in full at the time of service.
