When your visit or test is complete and the cardiologist dictates a report, a copy of the consultation or results will be sent to your doctor. To ensure that we send it to the correct physician, please inform the secretary or nurse which doctor you would like the results sent.
Most insurance companies require that you pay a co-pay for each office visit. Every plan will vary in what this amount will be. Please refer to your benefits book, insurance card or contact your insurance company if you have any questions about your benefits. Many times insurance companies require that you pay a higher co-pay when you see a specialist. Typically, this is more than the amount that you pay when you visit your family doctor or primary care physician. Please be aware that you will be required to pay the specialist co-pay when you see a provider at Utah Cardiology. If you don’t have medical insurance you may be required to pay a portion of your bill when you check-in for your appointment. If you have any questions or would like to make payment arrangements, please contact our billing office at (801) 397-3000.

Please call our billing office at (801) 397-3000 for payment options or billing questions.
When you visit our office the cardiologist may have you undergo additional testing. Many procedures and services are done in our office. Typically, the results of these tests are available within 24-48 hours. While we don’t have control over the testing which is done outside of our office, we will make every effort to communicate those results to you as soon as we receive them.
Many times your cardiologist will schedule a visit at a later date to review results after all testing has been completed.
Rest assured, if any test results require emergent care, you will be contacted immediately.
Utah Cardiology is able to perform many procedures in the comfort of one of our offices. The procedures that require more invasive care and treatment are performed in a hospital setting.
