What should I expect the day of my exam?

Upon arrival, you'll fill out some paperwork with your demographic and insurance details. Depending on your insurance, you may need to pay a co-pay. The sonographer will then call you back for the exam, which typically lasts 30-60 minutes.

How long is the exam?

Most exams take around 30 minutes, but specific tests like renal artery or lower arterial ultrasounds may take up to 45 minutes.

What should I bring for my exam?

Bring a copy of your doctor's order (if you have one) and your insurance cards. You'll also complete forms regarding your demographic information and sign financial and HIPAA privacy agreements.

When can I expect my results?

Results are usually interpreted within 24-48 hours after your exam. Your findings will be sent to your referring doctor, who will then contact you regarding the results.

Does my insurance cover the exam?

Most insurance companies cover these exams when appropriate. It’s advisable to verify coverage with your insurance provider. We will assist by verifying if authorization is needed before your exam date.

Are diagnostic ultrasounds safe?

Yes, diagnostic ultrasounds use high-frequency sound waves with no ionizing radiation, making them safe for examination purposes.
