Items You Must Bring
You must have the following items with you at the time of your visit. Failure to bring these items with you may result in a need to reschedule your imaging procedure.
- Written referral order(s) from your physician. We must have the signed referral order and/or the authorization form required by your insurance company at the time of your visit.
- Your insurance card and any co-payment due so that we may submit your insurance claim on your behalf.
- A photo ID - Please bring a valid form of photo identification such as a driver's license, military ID, or Alien Status Card from the State Department. RIA is committed to take appropriate steps to verify your identity so that we may safeguard your identity and your financial and personal health information.
- Workers' compensation claim or automobile insurance information, if relevant.
- All related imaging studies performed elsewhere that relate to your visit. For example, prior mammograms (very important), MRI, x-ray, CT, sonography, or other imaging studies. These films and reports allow our radiologist to make comparisons that are necessary for the best interpretation of the new studies.
- The name and address of any other physician who should receive the report of your imaging examination.
X-Rays and Pregnancy
For women of child-bearing age (12-50), all x-ray and CT exams of the abdomen, pelvis and proximal femurs, and all Nuclear Medicine exams are to be scheduled between day one and day fourteen following the start of the menstrual cycle, unless the chance of pregnancy can be excluded, i.e., hysterectomy, tubal ligation, abstinence, use of birth control pills, or other birth control devices.

Childcare During Testing
Unfortunately, we cannot routinely supervise your children during your imaging study. We believe that you are best served when we can provide 100% of our attention to you. Therefore, we encourage you to make childcare arrangements or to bring a responsible person with you to supervise your children.
Inclement Weather Policy
It’s rare that RIA offices are closed during inclement weather. We are usually able to have our radiologists and staff that can perform most types of procedures in the office. You are encouraged to call in advance however, if you have any concern about conditions or wish to confirm. Should one or more of our centers need to close during severe inclement weather, we try to call you. If you haven’t heard from us and wish to verify our status before venturing out, you may call us. If we aren’t in the office, you will hear our recorded message for current information
