It is very important that we receive a referral for your radiology exam before your appointment. To avoid any scheduling delays or insurance issues, please make sure that you or your physician’s office submits the referral form to us. The fax number for referrals is (253) 761-4201.

We want to ensure your visit to TRA is as stress-free as possible. Our scheduling staff is available to help you find an appointment that fits your schedule and make sure you have any questions about exam preparations answered.

If your physician has not already called to schedule your appointment, call: (253) 761-4200, 8:00 a.m. – 5:30 p.m.

Please note: X-rays require a referral, but are done on a walk-in basis and do not require a pre-scheduled appointment. Screening mammograms do not require a referral, but do require a pre-scheduled appointment.
