    Do I need a GP referral or self-referral?

    A key benefit of discounted self-referred scanning is that you don't need a GP referral to book a scan. Instead, included in the cost of the scan is a pre- and post-scan consultation call with a clinician.

    Once you have booked and made payment for your scan, a clinician will contact you and ask you for all of the relevant information they need to compile a referral on your behalf, which is then passed on to your chosen scanning site.

    How will I receive my results?

    Once you've had your scan, your radiologist’s report will be emailed to you in PDF format, usually within 7 working days.

    Digital copies of your images are also available as required for onward care. The method for accessing the images differs depending on your chosen scanning site.

    Some sites use IEP (Image Exchange Portal), while others require an image request form to be completed. Please refer to your results email for further information.

    What’s included in the price of my booking?

    • A pre-scan consultation telephone call from one of Scan.com's medical team

    • A written referral by the Scan.com medical team, using the information from your telephone consultation

    • A scan at your chosen scanning centre

    • Your results in a written report

    • Access to copies of your scan images, which are downloadable, as required

    • A post-scan consultation with one of Scan.com's medical team if there are any adverse findings in your scan

    How long does an MRI scan take?

    An MRI scan on a single body part typically can take between 10–30 minutes.

    More complex scans can last up to 90 minutes. These time frames can vary, and your radiographer will let you know the estimated duration of your scan before the procedure starts.

    Visit Scan.com's MRI services page for more information on how MRI scans work.

    Can I cancel and get a refund?

    Yes, they do offer cancellations and refunds. For more information, visit Scan.com's terms and conditions.
