When you arrive at Ultrasound Imaging Concepts, LLC for your first appointment, you'll be greeted by our friendly front desk staff who will verify your information and help you complete any necessary paperwork. We recommend arriving 15 minutes early to allow time for check-in and to update your medical history if needed. Our waiting area is designed to be comfortable and relaxing, with seating and reading materials available. Once called back for your procedure, a registered sonographer will escort you to the examination room and explain what to expect during your ultrasound. Depending on the type of examination, you may be asked to change into a gown and remove certain clothing items. Most ultrasound procedures are performed with you lying on an examination table, though some may require sitting or standing positions. A warm gel will be applied to your skin to help transmit sound waves, and the sonographer will gently move a handheld transducer across the area being examined. The procedure is painless and typically takes between 15 to 45 minutes, depending on the complexity of the examination. After your ultrasound is complete, you can resume normal activities immediately. Your results will be sent to your referring physician, who will discuss them with you and determine any necessary follow-up care.
Question: How should I prepare for my ultrasound appointment?
Answer: Preparation requirements vary depending on the type of ultrasound you're having. For abdominal ultrasounds, you may need to fast for several hours beforehand. Pelvic ultrasounds often require a full bladder, so you'll be asked to drink water before your appointment. Our staff will provide specific instructions when you schedule your appointment, and we're always available to answer any questions about preparation.
Question: Will my insurance cover the ultrasound procedure?
Answer: Most insurance plans cover medically necessary ultrasound procedures when ordered by a physician. We participate with many major insurance carriers and can verify your benefits before your appointment. Our billing department can help you understand your coverage and any potential out-of-pocket costs. We also offer self-pay options for patients without insurance or those choosing to pay privately for their services.
