Do I need an appointment or a doctor's order for imaging?
No. Bellaire ER is a walk-in emergency room, open 24/7. Our emergency physicians evaluate you first and order the appropriate imaging as part of your visit — no outside referral required.
Who reads my scan?
A board-certified emergency physician reviews your imaging on-site during your visit and goes over the results with you, so you leave understanding what was found and what happens next.
How fast will I get my results?
Because imaging and lab are in the same building as your physician, results come back during the same visit — you won't be sent home to wait days for a radiology report.
Do you accept insurance and self-pay patients?
We treat every patient regardless of plan and welcome self-pay patients. Bellaire ER is out-of-network for all health benefit plans; for emergency services, federal law caps your cost sharing at in-network amounts and bars balance billing, though your deductible and coinsurance still apply. Costs depend on the care and imaging your visit requires, so call (713) 660-0001 with questions, or see our insurance and billing page.
What imaging do you have on-site?
We have CT scanning, digital X-ray, and ultrasound on-site, along with a full diagnostic laboratory — available 24 hours a day.
