We accommodate TRICARE beneficiaries assigned to the facility of all ages from newborns to the elderly. For your convenience we can pull prior exams from other bases for comparison or if the exam is needed for an off-base appointment.

Following interpretation of the exam an electronic report is transmitted back to our providers for them to view. This process can take up to 3 business days. Diagnostic imaging personnel are not authorized to discuss what is seen on exams or release exam results to patients. Please reach out to your primary care manager for results. Results may also be obtained online through TRICARE online approximately 7 business days following your exam. Diagnostic imaging orders from civilian providers are welcome.

Results will be faxed to off-base providers after they have been interpreted by a radiologist. At this time we do not accept prescriptions from chiropractic clinics. Please consult with your primary care manager prior to coming to the radiology clinic if you have a script from a chiropractor.
