Labs
Where to go for your labs, imaging (xray, MRI, mammogram), or specialists?
It's always recommended that you ensure reasonable insurance coverage for the labs or diagnostics ordered. However, base on our experience, according to the insurance network you're with, you'll have to go to the lab listed below. This list is not a guarantee and is subject to change at any time. We do always recommend checking with your insurance company first and we are not responsible for any fees incurred in your laboratory services:

Where to go for your imaging?
PPO: We generally prefer RadNet simply because they provide us the results faster and directly into our medical records system but you're free to go wherever your insurance allows you to go or wherever you'd like to go if you want to self-pay for the services.
HMO: We will place the request for authorization with your network group. Then, they will contact you (usually by mail so make sure they have the right address) and let you know where to go. Wait patiently please for the mail as we will often not know any sooner than you. For an update on the status of your referral, please call your network group above (phone numbers listed below).
Self Pay: as with PPO above
Where to go for your specialists?
Specialists and Outside Doctors:
PPO: we will give you a list of providers we've gotten good feedback from our previous patients about. The lists of recommendations you receive from us is not exclusive and there are many other fine doctors available in our community. Please do your own research as well but whomever you see, please ask them kindly to send us a letter letting us know what they think about your medical situation as well - we care about you and we'd love to know what they think too!
