Stop overpaying: Pay 30% less for higher quality medical imaging at Outpatient Radiology Scottsbluff

Over one-third of adults say they skip or postpone medical care because of cost. As gas, grocery and living costs rise, the last thing any patient wants to worry about is whether they can afford necessary healthcare. Outpatient Radiology (OPR) Scottsbluff reduces the burden of rising healthcare costs by providing affordable medical imaging close to home — no need to pay for gas and lodging for out-of-state imaging.

Gone are the days when hospitals were the only option for medical imaging. Independent facilities, such as Outpatient Radiology Scottsbluff, now offer patients higher-quality imaging at more affordable prices, all while providing patient-centered care.

Bottom line: It’s time to stop overpaying for medical imaging.

In fact, studies show that imaging performed in a hospital outpatient department can cost nearly 4X (30% to 50%) more than the same scan performed at an independent imaging facility. By focusing on high-quality imaging, the team at Outpatient Radiology delivers expert care, precision, advanced technology and a more affordable option for patients throughout western Nebraska. The following are a few examples of self-referred exams available through cash pricing:

• $118 DEXA Scans (assess bone density)

• $150 CT Calcium Scores (assess heart disease risk)

• $449 abbreviated breast MRI (further assess dense breasts from mammogram findings)

Not only does OPR Scottsbluff offer more affordable imaging than hospitals, but its staff also work with patients to assess insurance coverage and offer flexible payment options so the imaging you need doesn’t cost more than you can afford.
