YOU HAVE A CHOICE
With increasing health insurance premiums, deductibles and coinsurance, individuals to-day need to compare pricing and be selective when choosing where to go for their imaging services.
For example, did you know that the costs vary significantly when imaging is performed at a hospital outpatient facility versus a private-owned facility?
Hospitals typically charge triple or even quadruple the price of a privately owned outpatient company. In addition, insurance companies give you the choice of choosing a medical providers in-network or out-of-network. The advantage to go in-network is that you pay less out-of-pocket.
