How to Schedule an Imaging Appointment
All imaging appointments at NYU Langone can be scheduled by phone. Many types can also be scheduled using the NYU Langone Health app.

Schedule an Imaging Appointment Online
If the doctor who ordered your imaging exam is not part of the NYU Langone network or if you have a paper prescription for the imaging exam, you must call to make an appointment.
If your NYU Langone doctor ordered an imaging exam, you can self-schedule most appointments by following the steps below:
- Log in to the app with your NYU Langone Health MyChart username and password.
- Once you are logged in, all imaging exams that are available for scheduling appear on the home screen. Click or tap on the “Schedule Now” button and follow the prompts to schedule your appointment.
Procedures and some imaging exams cannot currently be self-scheduled. Please call us to schedule your appointment.
If you don’t yet have the NYU Langone Health app, download the app from the App Store or Google Play. Log in to the app with your NYU Langone Health MyChart username and password. If you don’t have a MyChart account, you can create your account now.
After Scheduling Your Appointment
You can use the NYU Langone Health app to complete questionnaires before your visit, and to view arrival and preparation instructions. After your appointment, you can use the app to read your results and view and share the exam images.
Insurance Authorization for Imaging Services
Some imaging exams require insurance preauthorization, depending on the exam and your insurance carrier. After you schedule an appointment, our preauthorization team reviews your information and contacts your insurance carrier or referring physician. If authorization is not received by three business days before your exam, we contact you to reschedule your appointment.
If you have questions about billing or insurance for imaging services, please call 877-648-2964, weekdays from 8:30AM to 4:30PM.
