Access My RecordsPart of Nuvance Health, Sharon Hospital provides a number of medical services to the local community including surgery, medical imaging, wound care and primary care facilities. They are also home to The Cancer Institute, The Neuroscience Institute and The Heart and Vascular Institute, providing top-of-the-line care to patients.
Sharon Hospital accepts many kinds of insurance, and many of these do cover medical imaging services, at least to some extent. It is important to note that some imaging may need to be preauthorized before being covered, and that not all medical providers participate with all insurance plans, even if the hospital itself is contracted. It is recommended that you inform your healthcare provider of your insurance information in advance and confirm with your insurance provider that services are covered. This helps you determine on a case-by-case basis whether your provider is in-network.Meanwhile, here is a list of the insurances Sharon Hospital currently accepts.
Sharon Hospital’s imaging facilities typically send patient results to their referring physician within a week of the appointment, after their trained radiologists review them. For quicker access, you can use PocketHealth to easily view and share your results, often before your follow-up appointment.
To be covered by insurance, most imaging services require a referral or preauthorization from a doctor.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a method that uses magnetic fields and radio waves to capture images of a patient’s internal structures and organs. The MRI machine temporarily moves the patient’s protons out of alignment. As the protons realign, the subsequent release of energy is measured by a computer and converted into images. Because MRIs use strong magnets, they are generally not recommended for patients with metallic implants.
CT (computed tomography) scans use multiple low-dose X-rays to produce detailed, cross-sectional images. These images are then combined to create a 3D scan that provides in-depth views of internal tissues and structures, such as bones and organs. CT scans are well-suited for quick imaging, and they don’t require patients to remain still for long periods. They are also a good alternative for patients with metallic implants who may not be suitable candidates for the magnetic properties of MRIs.
Overall, CT scans excel at showing bones and other aspects of the skeletal system, while MRIs provide better details of soft tissues, such as tendons, ligaments and muscles.
