Understanding your costs
Deductible
The amount you pay each year before your plan starts covering costs.
Copay
A fixed amount you pay for a service.
Coinsurance
The percentage of the cost you pay after your deductible is met.
Prior authorization
Approval some plans require before imaging. We submit this on your behalf.
We'll tell you exactly which of these apply to you before your appointment.
Self-pay options
Transparent, upfront pricing with no surprise bills. Useful if you have a high deductible, are out of network, or simply prefer not to use insurance. Preventive screening such as whole-body MRI is generally not covered by insurance and is offered as a cash-pay service.
What insurance usually covers
Typically covered
Medically necessary imaging ordered by a physician is usually covered, subject to your plan's terms. Screening mammograms are usually covered at no cost under most plans.
Typically not covered
Preventive whole-body screening, and some elective or screening studies, are typically not covered and are offered as cash-pay services.
Coverage varies by plan, we verify yours specifically rather than guessing.
