Patient Information

WHAT TO BRING AND WEAR

A good visit begins with no surprises.

Here’s what to know to help make your visit go as smoothly as possible. Start by arriving 30 minutes early to fill out your registration information and review any additional information we may need for your exam.

Come dressed in comfortable, metal-free clothing but be prepared to change into patient scrubs, if necessary. If you are having a mammogram, please avoid deodorant, powders and lotions.

Please bring these things to your appointment:

Your health insurance card including your ID and group numbers.
Driver’s license or other government-issued photo ID.
For workers’ compensation claims and automobile injuries: bring your carrier information, claim number and the date of the injury. Please inform your healthcare provider’s office if your scan will be covered under workers’ compensation.
Any outside imaging that might pertain to the scan being done. This will help the radiologist in reading your scan.
A list of any prescription drugs that you are taking.

SPECIAL NEEDS

Please let us know if you have any special issues, such as:

Allergies.
Dietary limitations.
Physical limitations.
Difficult IV start.

If there is any chance that you could be pregnant or if you are breast feeding, please notify our staff.

Insurance pre-authorization

We accept most insurance plans. Please call (406) 327-3950 for more details.

As a courtesy, we will work with the ordering provider’s office to help with pre-authorization. However, it is ultimately your responsibility to verify that authorization has been obtained prior to your scan.

We can file primary and secondary claims.

If you don’t have insurance we will give you an estimated cost for your exam and, if necessary, connect you with our billing department to assist with setting up a payment plan.

A healthcare provider’s order or prescription is necessary for spinal injections and all scans except:

Routine screening digital mammograms — but you must have a healthcare provider to whom we can send your results.

We can send results to more than one provider and we can give them to you on a CD if that’s helpful.

Frequently Asked Questions

NOT ONE OF YOUR QUESTIONS SHOULD GO UNANSWERED.

You might have questions, maybe many, about your test and what to expect during the procedure. We've prepared a list to get you started.

Online Payments

PAYING YOUR BILL.

We work with three organizations for processing payments, so your bill will not come from Advanced Imaging. Depending on your procedure and location of your test, you will receive bills from Inland Imaging, Community Medical Center and/or MSN Healthcare Solutions. Please call us if you have any questions on your billing.
