Do I need prior authorization from my insurance company for my imaging exam?

Many insurance companies do require pre-authorization for imaging studies. Please contact your insurance company directly to find out if your plan requires pre-authorization for the imaging exam you are having.

Scheduling

Is there anything I can do prior to my appointment to save time?

Making sure you have any information needed prior to your appointment will help get you in and out of our imaging center quickly. Make sure you bring your picture ID and insurance information to your visit.

Will I need a driver to bring me home after my appointment?

Some imaging procedures may require a driver be available to take you home. When you make your appointment, the imaging scheduler will let you know if a driver is needed.

Appointment Day

What if I still have questions about my exam after viewing this website?

The technologist will meet with you before any imaging exam and go over any questions you may have on the day of your visit. If you have general questions prior to your exam date that are not answered on this website, please contact us directly (425) 640-4949.

What type of clothing should I wear?

If possible, please wear loose-fitting, metal-free (no buttons or zippers) clothing to your appointment. If you are having an MRI, you will be provided with a gown or scrubs to wear during your appointment and a secure place to leave your personal items.

Why do I need to arrive 15 (or 30, or 90) minutes before my appointment time?

This gives you time to check-in and meet with the technologist to go over health history and ask any questions you may have prior to your exam. In the case of some CT exams, you may be asked to drink barium contrast prior to your exam which generally takes 90 minutes. Some exams require more preparation and/or paperwork than others. Please see the section on exam descriptions for more detailed information about preparing for a specific exam.
