Preparing for your exam (click here)

Many exams require special preparations. Please check with your referring physician if any special preparations are necessary. You can also find exam prep instructions on the reverse side of CMI’s prescription order given to you by your doctor or by clicking on a specific exam under Services. If you have additional questions regarding your exam or preparations, feel free to ask our scheduling or registrar representative.

For your convenience, if you would like to pre-register, call our registrars office at 352.253.0150 or 352.253.0771. If you would like to pre-register at the Center, please arrive 20 minute prior to your scheduled appointment. As a courtesy, if you must cancel or reschedule, please call within 24 hours of your appointment. Upon arrival, you will be asked for a valid Driver’s License (or other form of a photo ID), your current insurance card, and your physician’s order form (provided by your referring physician – if you do not have a copy of the order, please make sure a copy has been faxed to the Center for Medical Imaging prior to your arrival). In some cases you may need to bring past films for comparison. As an affiliate of Florida Hospital Waterman, CMI has access to all previous scans done at the hospital.

Billing & Insurance (click here)

As a convenience to you, we will file your claims directly with your insurance company and will assist you in obtaining the maximum payment for a given procedure. The Center for Medical Imaging is a Medicare approved facility and accepts assignment on all Medicare claims. Any balance not paid by Medicare is forwarded to your secondary insurance company, where most times, the balance is generally paid in full. We also participate in many managed care plans accepting payment in full for covered services of those plans which do not have co-insurance or deductible requirements. Click here for a complete list of accepted insurances.

You are responsible for any known co-payment or deductible not satisfied at the time of your exam, as well as any non-covered services. When time allows, you will be notified of any payment you need to bring with you to your appointment. Once payment is received from the insurance company, any unpaid balance is forwarded to you. In the event that your insurance company does not make payment within 45 days, we will send you a balance statement. Ultimately, it is the patient’s responsibility for any unpaid balance. Your understanding and support is greatly appreciated. Should you have any questions or concerns regarding your account please do not hesitate to contact our Billing Office at 352.253.3311. Our business hours are 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
