Self-Book and Referral Appointments Available
MH Imaging accepts referrals and orders directly from your physician. If your doctor’s office has already provided a referral, order, or note for your imaging exam, have them fax it to us. You’re also welcome to bring a printed copy of your paperwork with you to your appointment.
Prefer to Self-Refer?
You don’t need a prescription or physician referral to get scanned. Many of our imaging exams are available as self-pay, self-book appointments, so you can schedule directly with MH Imaging without a doctor’s note. Our scheduling team is happy to help confirm which exams qualify for self-referral. Have questions about which option is right for you, or need to send us the paperwork? Fax any documents to the clinic closest to you, and our team will take it from there.

What to Expect During Your Medical Imaging Appointment
Scheduling a diagnostic imaging exam can feel overwhelming, especially if it is your first MRI, CT scan, ultrasound, or X-ray. At MH Imaging, we make the process simple by providing fast scheduling, convenient appointment times, and rapid report turnaround so you can get the answers you need without unnecessary delays. Most patients describe their visit as comfortable, efficient, and stress-free.
Whether you have been referred by your physician or are utilizing one of our self-pay imaging services, our goal is to provide high-quality medical imaging with exceptional patient care every step of the way.
What to Bring:
The best medical testing results occur when the patient is fully prepared for their visit. Some tests require different preparation hours (or sometimes days) before the scheduled appointment. We ask that our patients follow the recommended guidelines below to ensure their tests return the most accurate results as possible.
As a general guideline, please remember to:
- Wear comfortable clothing without metal zippers, buttons, or accessories
- Bring a valid form of ID to verify your information
- Remember your insurance card, if applicable
- Bring any paperwork related to your appointment
- Inform our team of any special accommodations or requests

After Your Appointment: What Happens Next?
After your imaging exam is complete, your images are reviewed by an experienced radiologist who prepares a detailed report and sends the findings to your ordering provider for review.
Most patients can return to their normal daily activities immediately after their exam unless otherwise instructed. If your exam requires contrast, our staff will provide any additional post-exam instructions before you leave.
Our goal is to provide fast, accurate results so you and your healthcare provider can move forward with treatment planning as quickly as possible.
