Q: What is the wait time for medical imaging in Montreal?

In the public system, wait times can range from weeks to several months. At VM Med, we typically offer appointments within 24 to 48 hours of receiving the request to ensure you get the care and answers you need immediately.

Q: Are MRI and CT scans covered by RAMQ at VM Med?

As a private clinic, VM Med operates outside the public system to provide faster service. Our fees are paid out-of-pocket, ensuring you bypass the public waitlists. Certain tests or scans may be covered by private health insurance, but this is highly dependent on the patient’s personalized coverage.

Q: How long does it take to receive my radiology results?

Once your exam is complete, your results will be processed promptly and sent directly to your referring doctor within 48 hours.

Q: Is it safe to have an MRI if I have metal implants or a pacemaker?

You need to advise the clinic if you have any metal on your person before scheduling an MRI. Depending on the nature and location of your implant, it may not be safe for you to have an MRI. If you have a pacemaker, it is best to proceed with your MRI in a hospital setting.

Q: I am claustrophobic; can I still get an MRI at VM Med?

Yes. VM Med is equipped with a wide, open bore MRI, designed to make patients who may feel claustrophobic more comfortable.
