No. In fact you get better deals going through Tripment Health than your insurance company.

Tripment Health partners with a high quality imaging center to get you the best price for your radiology scan in your area. No insurance companies, no additional overhead cost, no surprise bills!

No. Tripment Health was created on the notion that no patient should ever receive a surprise bill again. The rate you see upfront is the rate you get. There are no additional charges during the appointment or after.

It depends on which kind of scan you are getting.

• MRI Scans: Some providers do not require a physician order if the MRI is done without contrast.
• CT Scans: Yes. All CT scans require doctor referral.

If you do not have a physician referral, Tripment Health can arrange it for a fee as low as

$25-45.

Your doctor ordering your MRI should be well versed in your entire medical history. For

example your doctor should be aware of:

• Past and current medical conditions (Aneurysm, pacemakers, pregnancies, etc.)
• Past and current medication history (Allergies to medications, blood thinners, etc.)
• Past imaging services you have had done.

Referrals written by medical professionals with an NPI number will be accepted at Tripment

Health.

Please note it is at the discretion of the facility to accept your referral.

Hospital based radiology departments are profit focused. These departments have the ability to bring in alot of money for the hospitals. Therefore, hospitals tend to buy the most expensive MRI equipment in order to charge insurance companies more money per patient. Tripment Health eliminates the costly middleman, i.e your insurance. We are partnered with outpatient centers whose focus is on quality and affordable prices. These centers buy cost effective equipment and save on billing costs by accepting cash payments.

Typically surprise bills that come after your radiology services are sent to patients

because their radiologist interpretation is not included in the cost of service. At Tripment

Health, whether you are getting a mammogram, MRI, ultrasound, or CT Scans, all of our

radiology service prices include interpretations (i.e CDs, reports, notes).

Tripment Health has developed strong relationships with our partnering Imaging centers. We

leverage these relationships to ensure that Tripment Health patients get the best quality

for an affordable cost. Advantages of using Tripment Health:

• Quick scheduling
  No waiting on the phone for hours or waiting months for scans. Tripment Health schedulers can get you in for your appointments sooner.
• Protection
  Tripment Health protects you from common issues that self pay patients often deal with like, upcharging, unbundling codes, and frivolous charges.
• Medical Necessity
  Before scheduling your appointment, our specialists closely review and protocol each referral internally. By doing this we ensure that everything ordered is medically necessary. For example some diagnostic centers require patients lab work before a CT scan simply because it is convenient. When scheduling through Tripment Health, imaging centers cannot do this for our patients unless the lab work is deemed medically necessary.
• Ease and Peace of Mind
  Tripment Health has highly skilled schedulers, whom are able to quickly resolve referrals without needing the patient to spend time going back and forth with their referring doctor. We save you time and ease the process for you.

If this happens please contact our patient success team for assistance with your refund. You
