Screenings You Can Book Directly
These preventative wellness exams are available without a referral — ideal for early detection of vascular and thyroid conditions before symptoms appear.
No referral needed
Preventative screening exams are self-pay wellness studies you can book directly. They’re designed to catch vascular and thyroid issues early — carotid, thyroid, aorta (AAA), and peripheral artery disease screenings all fall in this group.
Referral required
Diagnostic studies ordered to investigate a specific symptom or known condition need a physician’s order. You can upload it during booking or have your provider fax one to us — and we’ll handle the rest.
Early detection, on your terms
Many serious vascular conditions — like carotid narrowing or an abdominal aortic aneurysm — develop silently, without symptoms. A quick, painless screening ultrasound can reveal them early, when they’re most manageable. Because no referral is required, there’s nothing standing between you and peace of mind.
No-Referral Ultrasound FAQ
Can I get an ultrasound without a doctor referral?
Yes. Ultra Stat Mobile Imaging offers self-pay screening and wellness ultrasounds with no physician referral required — you can book directly online. Diagnostic studies ordered to investigate a specific symptom still require a provider’s order, which you can upload at booking.
Which ultrasounds can I book without a referral?
All of our preventative screening exams can be booked directly with no physician order — including carotid artery, thyroid, abdominal aorta (AAA), and peripheral artery disease (PAD) screenings. These are self-pay wellness studies designed for early detection.
Why do some ultrasounds still require a referral?
Diagnostic studies ordered to investigate a specific symptom or known condition require a physician’s order so the interpreting physician has the clinical context. You can upload an order at booking or have your provider fax one to us.
Is a no-referral screening as accurate as a clinical exam?
Yes. Every scan is performed by a board-certified RDMS/RVT sonographer on professional-grade equipment and interpreted by qualified physicians. A screening simply means you don’t need a referral to access it.
What happens if a screening finds something?
If a screening identifies a finding that warrants follow-up, your report will recommend next steps. You can share it with your primary care provider or specialist to guide further evaluation.
