Same-Day Mobile X-ray and EKG in Missoula
Missoula sits at the center of a large stretch of western Montana, and the patients who need imaging are spread across the city and the valley towns around it. Some can come to a clinic. Many cannot, whether because of mobility, a busy provider schedule, or the simple fact that transport is a hurdle. Big Sky Imaging serves Missoula with same-day mobile X-ray and EKG in covered markets, so providers can get the studies they need without sending patients on the run.
What same-day means here
For X-ray and EKG in our covered Missoula market, we aim to complete the study the same day it is ordered. A provider places the order, our team schedules and dispatches a technician, and the study is captured wherever the patient is: at your clinic, at home, or at a facility. From there the images and tracings go to our teleradiology partner, Rapid Radiology, and most X-ray reads come back the same day. That quick loop helps you make decisions while the patient is still in front of you rather than days later.
In-clinic or we come to you
Our Missoula hub is set up so patients have options. Someone who can travel can be imaged at the clinic. When travel is hard, we bring portable equipment to the patient instead. That flexibility matters across the Missoula area, where a single referral can save an older patient a long round trip and free up a caregiver's whole afternoon. It is the same model we use for skilled nursing facilities, assisted living communities, and rural clinics throughout the region.
Beyond X-ray and EKG
Same-day is the standard for X-ray and EKG in covered markets, and we also bring ultrasound and echocardiograms to patients in the Missoula area. Echocardiogram reads are typically returned within 24 hours. Between those four modalities, a Missoula practice can lean on one mobile partner for a good share of the common imaging its patients need, instead of coordinating several vendors and trips.
Simple to order, easy to pay
Ordering is one step. There is no portal to wrestle with and no new software to adopt. Send the referral and our team handles the rest in your region. Cash pay is accepted, and Medicare and Medicaid are accepted as well, which keeps things predictable for self-pay patients and for practices that serve a mix of coverage.
The bottom line
If you practice in or around Missoula and you have been sending patients out for routine X-rays and EKGs, there is a faster path. Same-day mobile imaging brings the study to the patient and the results back to you quickly. Call us or send a referral, and we will get a technician scheduled.
