Get the imaging your orthopedic physician ordered without an unnecessarily long hospital wait. Our goal is to make MRI scheduling accessible, efficient and coordinated directly with your orthopedic care.
Questions About Your MRI Appointment?
Our MRI scheduling team can help confirm that your order was received, answer routine appointment questions and direct insurance or authorization concerns to the appropriate staff member.
When emailing, include your name, phone number, ordering provider and the body part being imaged. Please do not send complete medical records, Social Security numbers or other highly sensitive health information through ordinary email.
MRI Scheduling
Email is available for routine scheduling communication. Urgent medical symptoms should not be sent by email.
Imaging Built Around Orthopedic Care
The MRI should move your treatment forward—not become another obstacle between you and the diagnosis.
Accessible Scheduling
Our team works to schedule studies promptly and avoid the long delays that can occur within large hospital imaging systems.
Convenient Location
MRI services are available through our Snellville orthopedic offices, with limited Saturday availability in Snellville when offered.
Direct Physician Access
The completed images are available within our orthopedic system, allowing your treating physician to review the actual study without waiting for an outside disc transfer.
Potential Cost Savings
Office-based imaging may carry lower facility charges and lower patient responsibility than hospital-based MRI, depending on insurance and the specific study.
Your MRI Goes Directly Into Your Orthopedic Care
Because the MRI is coordinated within the same orthopedic practice, the treating team can access the images directly after the study is completed. That can reduce delays caused by outside image transfers, missing discs or repeated requests to another facility.
Four Simple Steps
Most scheduling questions can be resolved quickly when we have the order and the information required by your insurance plan.
Your Provider Orders the MRI
The order identifies the body part, side and type of MRI needed. Some studies require special instructions or contrast.
Insurance Is Reviewed
Many insurance plans require prior authorization. Approval timing is controlled partly by the insurer and may affect the appointment date.
Our Team Coordinates the Visit
The MRI scheduling team confirms the appointment time, screening questions and any preparation instructions.
Your Orthopedic Team Reviews It
The images and report are used with your history and examination to determine the next appropriate treatment step.
A More Cost-Conscious MRI Option
Hospital-based imaging can include substantial facility charges. An MRI performed in an orthopedic office setting may be less expensive, but the actual cost depends on your insurance network, deductible, coinsurance, authorization and the type of study ordered.
Patients without insurance or those comparing cash prices can also review our self-pay MRI pathway.
Questions to Ask Before Your MRI
What Patients Should Know
MRI uses a powerful magnet. Complete the safety screening carefully and tell the team about any implanted device, metal or previous procedure.
