About MRI: MRI uses magnetic fields and radio waves — no radiation — to create images of internal body structures. You will lie on a padded table that slides gently into the magnet. The procedure is painless. Humming and thumping sounds during the scan are normal.
About First Look MRI: First Look MRI is a diagnostic imaging center, not a treating provider. I understand that:
- I am solely responsible for sharing my MRI results with my own physicians
- I may request that First Look MRI send results directly to a provider on my behalf
- If I ordered this exam without a doctor's referral, it may not be medically necessary
- First Look MRI is not liable for harm resulting from failure to obtain appropriate follow-up treatment
Payment: Payment is due directly from me at the time of service. First Look MRI does not accept insurance assignment or bill insurance. I am solely responsible for all charges. Whether my insurer reimburses me is my own responsibility.
Valuables: I am advised not to bring valuables to the facility. Jewelry can be sealed in an envelope for security, and it can be taken into the room with you. The practice is not responsible for other lost personal property.
Communications: I consent to receiving appointment reminders and health-related communications via email and/or text at the contact information I have provided.
