RADIOLOGY/IMAGING SERVICES GUIDELINES

When you have any test in the Imaging Services Department, the guidelines listed below will help you arrive at the hospital with the correct orders, make your Outpatient registration process effortless, and keep you on schedule for your appointment.

1. Your physician’s office will call the Imaging Services Department to schedule the exam
2. Your physician or nurse will instruct you on any additional preparations necessary for this test.
3. Your physician will give you a signed order for this test. You must bring the physician's order sheet with you. You will need it to register as an outpatient at the hospital. Without this order sheet the test cannot be completed and you will be required to reschedule your exam.

Appointment Changes and Test Results

1. If you must cancel or reschedule your appointment call the Imaging Services Department, receptionist at 587-1231. Please call at least 24 hours in advance.
   
2. After the film is developed and read by our Radiologist, a copy of the results are sent or called to your physician. Only your physician can give you the results of your test.
   
3. The Radiologist will bill separately for his services. You will receive two bills for the procedure - one from the hospital and one from the radiologist for reading the films.

Childcare
If you have young children, make arrangements for a baby-sitter or childcare before your exam date. Children are not allowed in the examination room and may not be left in the hospital lobby unattended.
