* NOTE: HMO authorizations are the responsibility of the patient.

ARL/DEC is not contracted with Aetna, Champus, Champ VA, Coventry, Triwest, and AMN/RAN. If patients under these providers are seen by DEC, the patient will be liable for a larger out of pocket expense. We can attempt to obtain authorization from the patient's insurance, but authorization does not guarantee payment. We can submit a claim to the non contracted healthplan as a courtesy to the patient. Any amounts not paid by the insurance will be billed to the patient. Should the patient pay cash at the time of service, we can submit a claim to the healthplan as a courtesy to the patient. Any amount paid by the healthplan will be refunded to the patient.



About Interventional Radiology

Interventional radiologists are board-certified physicians who specialize in minimally invasive, targeted treatments that have less risk, less pain and less recovery time compared to open surgery. They use their expertise in interpreting X-rays, ultrasound, MRI and other diagnostic imaging studies to understand, visualize and diagnose the full scope of the disease's pathology and to map out the procedure tailored to the individual patient. Then during the procedure, they image as they go to guide tiny instruments, such as catheters, through blood vessels or skin, to treat diseases at the site of the illness nonsurgically.

Interventional radiology is a recognized medical specialty by the American Board of Medical Specialties. Interventional radiologists complete preliminary training in Diagnostic Radiology and advanced training in Vascular and Interventional Radiology. The American Board of Radiology certifies their specialized training.
