Will my insurance cover the x-ray, if I have the exam in my house? 

Yes, Medicare covers the cost of your home exam, as does nearly all other insurance carriers. The exception is; Medicaid. Medicaid is one of the only insurance carriers that does not cover home exams. Always a good idea to check with your insurance to confirm. 
 

Who qualifies for portable X-Rays? 

Any patient that would find it physically or psychologically difficult to obtain their exam outside of their home. 
 

My parent/relative is upstairs/downstairs, can you get the equipment to them? 

Yes, No problem. While we would prefer an elevator, we can easily bring our equipment up and down several flights of stairs. 
 

How long will it take for my doctor to review my x-ray on-line? 

Usually within hours of the exam, or definitely by the following morning. 
 

My parent/relative is very contracted, how will you be able to get the exam? It seems impossible. 

This is a very common situation. Our Technologists specialize in assisting the frail and elderly. We have many options including adjusting the angle of the machine, or use pillows to position the patient. Our goal is get the best visualization of the area while keeping our patient's comfortable. Our equipment is extremely flexible and versatile to allow exams on even the most difficult patients. 
 

My parent/relative is often confused and sometimes uncooperative. How would you deal with this situation? 

This is another common situation for our technologists. Everyday our staff successfully completes all exams, regardless of the patient's dementia, alzheimer's and psychological issues. This comes from being patient and truly patient focused. Our digital equipment is extremely fast. The patient does not necessarily have to stay still for the entire exam. In fact most radiographs are obtained using less than ½ second exposure time. Your loved one will be in good hands!
