*pricing is an average based on area hospital charges
Here are three things to consider when choosing where to have your medical imaging exam:
If you have a high deductible insurance plan, then you know it is important to ask questions about pricing, value and out-of-pocket expenses. Be sure to ask how many bills you will receive. Many hospital-based centers will send two or even three separate bills for technical, professional and facility fees. At Mobile Open MRI & Imaging, you will receive just one bill that is all-inclusive, with no hidden charges.
We provide all patients with a Good Faith Estimate that includes individual patient details based on your insurance plan and the study being performed. This estimate takes into account your insurance coverage, deductible and copay or coinsurance.
High-quality imaging is a promise we make to our patients and our referring physicians. We use state-of-the-art equipment that is accredited by the American College of Radiology. Our expert team includes onsite, board-certified, fellowship-trained radiologists and registered technologists.
All radiologists are board certified
All technologists are registered and certified in each of their respective modalities
All imaging equipment is evaluated annually by an independent medical physicist
We are network of nine statewide locations offering same-day and next-day appointments, weekend and evening hours to allow for convenient access to our high-quality imaging services. We are not part of a hospital system with complex navigation and large parking decks; we are freestanding facilities and provide easy, front door parking. Your experience with us will be safe and efficient with minimal waiting and no worries about being rescheduled in order to accommodate urgent or ER cases.
