Magnetic resonance imaging, commonly referred to as MRI, is an advanced technology that uses magnetic fields and radio waves (like microwaves and the AM and FM bands on your radio) to visually display the inner workings of the body. The pictures produced by MRI help the radiologist clearly and accurately detect and define the differences between healthy and diseased tissues, especially in the soft tissues. It can reveal many health problems at their earliest, most treatable stages.
Please Have the Following Information Available When Scheduling Your MRI Examination:
- Referring physician’s orders for the MRI (these orders contain information explaining why you’ll be having the MRI and the type of examination your doctor is requesting).
- Current insurance information. Orthopaedic Associates participates with most major insurance providers. We request that you remit any co-pay or deductible at the time of your examination. If you like, we will file your claim for you with your insurance carrier.
