Request or Transfer Your Medical Records

  • Request a copy of your Centra medical records
  • Forward your medical records to someone else
  • Transfer your medical records from another healthcare organization to Centra

Schedule a Cardiac Imaging Test

If you need to have a cardiac imaging procedure such as an echocardiogram or vascular study, your doctor will order the test. Once the order is in our system, you can schedule it at the location that’s most convenient for you.

To schedule your test at our Bedford location, please call 540.425.7545. For all other locations, call our central scheduling team at 434.200.3900.

Pay Your Bill

After you have hospital or outpatient cardiovascular care at Centra, you may receive a bill for services that your health insurance plan doesn’t cover. The amount you need to pay depends on the type of care you received and the type of insurance you have.

If you have questions about your bill, please call 434.200.3777. Otherwise, you can quickly and easily pay your bill online or through your HealthyU account.
