We will work directly with your referring physician to help obtain any necessary authorizations.

1. Insurance Pre-Authorization or Referral:

  • Referral Required: A physician’s referral is required for all services at California Imaging and Diagnostics. Once your doctor has referred you to our clinic, check with your insurance provider to confirm whether a separate pre-authorization is also needed.
