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?
Two sets of trained eyes. Our radiologic technologists capture the images here in the building, board-certified radiologists read them, and the emergency physician treating you reviews them as well 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 accepts most major insurance and bills your insurer directly, though some plans may process the visit as out-of-network; 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.
