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.

How do I pay?

Screenings are self-pay with transparent pricing shown before you book. We accept all major credit cards plus FSA and HSA cards. A $50 deposit reserves your appointment and is applied to your total.
