I am expecting a child and want to find out the sex and/or want to check that my baby is okay. Can I pay for my own ultrasound and schedule myself for it?
No, you cannot order your own ultrasound. The purpose of an OB ultrasound is to evaluate the health of the baby and mother. It is a medical exam that needs to be ordered for a medical reason only. We suggest you discuss the results of the ultrasound with your health care provider.

Can I videotape my ultrasound?
No, we do not provide videotapes of the examination to the parents. Upon request, we can provide you with printed images of your baby. Images of the entire examination are available to your health care provider on the PVHS Picture Archiving System (PACS).

The physician who requested the test will need to initiate your insurance authorization when one is necessary. Our pre-authorization coordinator will follow-up with your physician's office on the business day prior to your test to make sure preauthorization is in place.
