More on Outpatient Services
Outpatient services, like CT and MRI scans, X-rays, and lab tests such as blood work and urine tests, can be a time-consuming process for most people.
There you are, at your doctor’s office, being told you have to go somewhere else for a test. Time is precious. So, we don’t want to waste yours. We understand that life is busy, so we aim to make this part of your healthcare process as easy as possible for you and your family.
There’s no calling for hours for an appointment only to be told you can’t be seen for a week. Or, getting to your testing site and being told you have to wait…even more waiting.
If your test is covered under your insurance (most private insurance carriers require pre-authorization before testing), we can see you the same day.
How our outpatient service works
Your physician will simply fill out the order form and fax it to our facility via a secured fax system. Upon receipt and review of the order, our patient services manager will immediately reach out to the physician if there are any questions. Once pre-authorization is confirmed, we will immediately reach out to you and inform you of the approval.
That’s it! Then you come in — after school, after work or on the weekend…whenever it’s convenient for you to take your medical test.
More on Insurance
Many private insurance companies vary on the approval of any testing that is deemed non-emergent we offer our patients a cash pay rate. Cash pay rates can significantly reduce your out of pocket costs and eliminate any need to wait for insurance approvals
(Cash pricing will be discussed individually with each patient in person)

These laboratory tests are only a fraction of our testing capabilities. Contact our medical staff to ensure your required test is available and to best estimate the turn-around time. Pre-authorization is required for all laboratory outpatient service requests. Ensure your physician completes the convenient online request form. Again, there are also more convenient cash pay options available to our patients.
