Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why should I consider your service at this time?
A:
Cardiovascular Imaging, LLC of Tampa Bay  offers the convenience of coming to your office, clinic or practice location. Your patients will appreciate not having to leave your office and go to a laboratory in order to get their ultrasound exam.

Q: How will your service help my practice revenue?
A:
By offering an in-house ultrasound service you will not lose a portion of your practice income by referring your patients out. Now you can offer certain ancillary services in your office, thereby keeping that revenue in your own practice. Remember, that every time you order an echocardiogram, vascular or general ultrasound exam and send your patient somewhere else, you are losing potential income.

Q: What advantages can Cardiovascular Imaging provide to my patients?
A: Your patients will no longer need to leave your practice and make an appointment at a laboratory at another location to have their ultrasound exam done. They will appreciate the convenience of being able to have their testing done there in your office and may even recommend your practice to their friends and family because of its ease and convenience. Patients tend to place more confidence in a doctor or hospital that has state-of-the-art equipment. When a patient must leave the familiarity of your office and be seen by strangers, it can often cause unwanted stress and anxiety.

Q: Who is the ideal physician who would normally use your services?
A:
Any physician or doctor’s office who is currently sending his or her patients to a laboratory for their ultrasound exams would be a potential candidate for the services of CardioVascular Imaging.
