This opening announcement introduced Tucson locations at 3970 N Campbell Ave and 6261 N La Cholla Blvd. It is retained as a historical announcement; confirm current services and scheduling directly before arranging an examination. In this article Choose the correct Tucson location Arrange the examination before arriving Confirm costs before the appointment Plan for results and follow-up Choose the correct Tucson location Tell scheduling which examination was ordered and ask which Tucson center can perform it. Do not assume Campbell and La Cholla have the same scanner design, protocols or modality schedules. Ask for the current address, suite, preparation instructions and contact number for the selected site. A reference to the Tucson network does not establish that every service is offered at both centers. Arrange the examination before arriving Contact scheduling to confirm the exact examination, location, imaging order and preparation. Ask whether a same-day or walk-in request can be accommodated; neither is a guaranteed appointment. An insurance referral and an imaging order are different requirements. Ask which documents and authorizations apply to your exam and bring the completed order, insurance information and photo ID as instructed. Tell the team about language, mobility, anxiety or transportation needs in advance. Confirm which assistance is available at the selected center and whether arrangements or eligibility checks are needed. Confirm costs before the appointment Request a written estimate for the ordered study and selected location. Ask whether the quoted amount includes the facility charge, radiologist interpretation, contrast and any additional services. For insurance, confirm network status, benefits and authorization requirements with the center and payer. An authorization or estimate does not establish that every charge will be paid. Ask what you may owe before agreeing to services. If a lien or letter of protection is proposed, request the actual written agreement and an explanation of payment obligations. Do not assume the arrangement makes imaging free or removes responsibility if a claim is delayed or unsuccessful. Plan for results and follow-up Ask when the report is expected, how it will reach the ordering clinician and whom to contact if it has not arrived. Routine report timing depends on the study and review process; no fixed delivery deadline is promised here. The treating clinician interprets the report alongside symptoms, examination findings and prior studies. Imaging does not by itself determine treatment, the cause of an injury or a legal outcome. Request a clinical follow-up plan. Questions about imaging or scheduling? Call 844-641-2111 or find a location to contact your preferred imaging center.
