I agree with @lisakinpa , I would be picking up the phone and just asking (respectfully of course) what my next step is and how I might get that expedited. Sometimes you have to call the insurance company directly. If this clinic cannot get things going due to equipment issues, you can request to be sent elsewhere. This is another thing you could address directly with your insurance; they will have a list of providers.
I understand you have a confirmed diagnosis, do you have an oncologist yet?

It is no easy task to get Kaiser to send you out of their care. Fortunately the radiology dept. at this clinic finally borrowed the needed piece from another facility. The MRI was just taken yesterday (Thursday), and the doctor is scheduled to see me on Monday. I hope the scan shows it is removable and hasn't spread beyond the breast or breasts. Fingers crossed.
