    https://www.fredhutch.org/en/research/institutes-networks-ircs/hutchinson-institute-for-cancer-outcomes-research/reports.html has helpful information as you are trying to decide where to go.

    I found getting diagnostic imaging took many months when it was with an outside referral. If you’re worried about cancer but don’t have a diagnosis i would encourage you to go back to any care provider who could get you in to be screened as soon as possible, or maybe the ER.

    Fred hutch and UW are not in all health care plans so you might see if they are in your covered network before going there. As a heads up Fred hutch will bill as an outpatient procedure for office visits so the expenses may bill differently than you expect.

    Of the various options around here, I’ve heard good things about Fred hutch, Virginia Mason, and swedish.
