Reports & Turnaround

All studies are interpreted by board-certified radiologists — see [our radiology team] — and reports are delivered by fax and provider-directed delivery within typically 1–2 days, with some results available sooner. Critical findings are called to your office directly as soon as they’re identified, not batched with routine results. If your office prefers a specific delivery method or needs a copy sent to a second provider, note it on the order form and we’ll match your workflow.

Who Reads Your Studies

Interpretation quality is the product, so it’s worth stating plainly what’s behind ours: studies are performed by credentialed sonographers — RDMS, RVT, and RT(R) certifications on staff — and interpreted by an 11-radiologist panel with fellowship training across the subspecialties your orders touch. Full names, training, and credentials are published on our Our Team page — we’d encourage you to look, because in our experience most imaging providers don’t publish theirs.

Why Interior Providers Refer to Fairbanks Ultrasound

  • Access. same-day walk-in availability with a valid referral or imaging order scheduling means your differential doesn’t wait two weeks for imaging.
  • Locally owned and operated. Decisions, scheduling, and accountability live in Fairbanks — not at a corporate office in another state.
  • Transparent self-pay pricing. For your uninsured and high-deductible patients, our published pricing means cost doesn’t quietly cancel the study you ordered. Patients who can afford the exam actually get the exam — and you actually get the answer.
  • Communication. Critical results called, reports on your timeline, and a clinical contact Jana Flint, RDMS, RVT your staff can reach with protocol questions.

Built Around Clinic Workflows

A referral relationship works when it disappears into your office’s routine, so here is how ours is designed to behave. Orders are confirmed back to your office when received, so nothing faxes into a void. Your patient is contacted within as soon as scheduling permits of the order, and if we can’t reach them after reasonable attempts, we tell you rather than letting the order silently age. No-shows and incomplete preps are reported back the same day, with the rescheduled date. And when a report recommends follow-up imaging — a nodule that warrants a recheck interval, a finding better characterized by another modality — the recommendation is stated plainly in the impression with a suggested timeframe, so your recall list builds itself from our reports instead of from memory. The public website does not publish a more detailed referral workflow

for referring providers

If your clinic sends regular volume, tell us your preferences once — report delivery method, callback contacts, standing prep-instruction language — and they become the default for every order from your office.

For Your Patients

If your patient has questions before their appointment, these pages answer the common ones: what their exam will cost, whether they need a referral, and how to prepare — or they can simply call us. We’re happy to be the office that answers the phone.

A Note on Capacity and Seasonality

Interior Alaska’s clinical calendar has real seasonality — winter injury waves, summer physical-exam season, and provider travel schedules that compress referral windows. If your clinic anticipates a volume period (sports physical season, a visiting specialist’s block, a hiring surge at a major employer), a heads-up call lets us hold capacity rather than absorb it reactively. The same applies in reverse: if a patient’s clinical picture makes timing genuinely matter, say so on the order — “within 48 hours” on a form gets a different scheduling response than a generic order in a fax tray, and we’d rather you ask than assume.
