[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, where did you try to schedule?  It seems like a place like Washington Radiology takes pretty much everything - it’s like a cattle call so I get that some people may feel disrespected.  And more uncomfortable for some than for others, especially depending on where you are in your cycle - try to not schedule in the last week or two depending on how sensitive your breasts get in luteal phase.  But go do it.  [/quote]

I had my scan last month at Washington Radiology. Got an early appt, filled out the paperwork in advance and was in and out in 20 mins. I usually feel very faint during and after these scans but not this time. The tech was very good.

I know I sound like a commercial but it honestly was much less uncomfortable than I was dreading it would be.

Pls go, OP.

I had one at Washington Radiology (the one in Friendship Heights) this week. Super fast, not painful, and the tech was very good. I've been going there the last decade or so and have always had a good experience. The staff are also good about the mechanics. At my appointment they didn't have the order from my doctor so they called and had it faxed over immediately. They should be able to sort through your insurance issue.

Just FYI that I switched from Sibley to WRA because insurance had better coverage for WRA since it isn't in a hospital. I had a high copay at Sibley. So check your policy to see if it matters where you go.[/quote]
