Outpatient Services

At Topeka ER & Hospital, we simplify it for you. We are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We can see you any time, day or night, for on-site testing and more in our professional, clean and comfortable hospital.

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)
