Imaging Specialists Answers Top Imaging Questions

CHARLESTON, S.C. - Aug. 8, 2019 - PRLog -- The team at Imaging Specialists interacts with patients on a daily basis.   Patients often share the same questions and concerns.   Imaging Specialists  compiled those questions in one place in hopes that these answers will help others  with scheduled imaging as well.

•  When will I get my MRI results?  The answer for MRI is the results are available the next day.  The Imaging Specialists  radiologists examine the images and provide a detailed report to the referring provider, who then contacts the patient regrading the results.
• Is my mammogram clear?   The subspecialty trained radiologists at Imaging Specialists are on site and personally provide mammography results. Unlike other imaging centers, if a patient needs additional studies they will be handled immediately. No waiting and worrying!
• If a prior mammogram was at another facility, can I still come to Imaging Specialists?   You bet!  Check out web www.imagingspecialists.com to will find a convenient Women's Imaging form.   Imaging Specialists facilitates the transfer of prior mammography films.
• Do you have a patient portal? Yes!   You will be given access to a patient portal at the time of your visit.   It typically takes 24 hours for results to be posted to the portal.
• Can I walk in for an X-Ray?  Yes!   However, you do need an order in hand from a referring physician.   We accept walk ins, but recommend calling before arriving so the team can put the appointment on the schedule.
• Does Imaging Specialists handle insurance authorization?  Yes!  The authorization  team begins communication with the insurance company as soon as the patient is placed on the schedule.  Here is a tip:  The more clinical notes received from the provider, the easier it can be to get the insurance provider to authorize payment.
