Precise Imaging to Open New Anaheim Location

Precise Imaging to Open New Anaheim Location, Expanding Availability of Patient-Centered Diagnostic Care with Unparalleled Access for Physicians

 

November 10, 2017 — Anaheim, California —  Precise Imaging, a private corporation owned by Jaklin Benji, Matt Benji and Mike Rashidi, will open a new facility at 3174 West Lincoln Ave., in Southwest Anaheim, on the 13th day of November 2017. As a leading independent provider of diagnostic imaging services across California, Nevada, and Arizona this latest location will feature a state-of-the-art open MRI scanner.  The opening of an Anaheim location will create even more flexibility for those in need of imaging services while expanding access for referring physicians and their patients.

 

"Access to quality care is our highest priority," said Danny Rackow, director of technology and operations at Precise Imaging. "The new Anaheim location gives doctors and patients yet another quality source for MRI procedures while bringing the  benefits of an open MRI to a whole new community."

 

The Anaheim location adds to Precise Imaging's growing network of over 100 locations, many of which offer evening and weekend hours, same-day referrals, and 24-hour turnaround on radiology reports—even less for STAT cases.

 

Patient-Centered Care with Physician-Preferred Workflow

 

In keeping with Precise Imaging's mission to build dependable relationships with referring physicians in every medical specialty, the new location will offer a powerful suite of digital resources for health care providers. Physicians can make referrals at any time through a free online form. Following the procedure, they can view radiology reports and images 24 hours a day through a simple, HIPAA-compliant web portal. Experienced IT staff is available at every hour of the day and night to assist physicians with all digital tools.

 

"Doctors should be able to focus on care and not get bogged down on the simplest interactions such as scheduling, availability and ease of use with a provider," Mike Rashidi said. "We built our physician access tools to make the entire process hassle-free, from referral to reporting to interacting with insurance providers, because we want what the doctors want: better health outcomes for patients."

 

Precise Imaging has a proven track record of patient satisfaction, and the new location will continue this tradition. The inclusion of a comfortable open MRI scanner in the latest facility is just one example of the compassionate care that sets Precise Imaging apart. Friendly, experienced staff and board-certified radiologists take the time to provide support for the whole patient—body and mind—and that can lead to better, more actionable reports.

Diagnostic Imaging Referrals for Uninsured Patients

What should physicians do when they suspect a patient needs an expensive diagnostic imaging procedure, but they also know that patient lacks health insurance, or has an inadequate plan? How do they weigh financial considerations against crucial diagnostic information?

 

As physicians, you balance a huge number of variables in deciding which diagnostic imaging procedures to order for your patients. You must weigh radiation exposure versus probability of actionable images, for instance, or decide whether a patient needs an X-ray, an MRI, or both.

 

And like it or not, every decision a referring physician makes will have an impact on the patient's final bill — which becomes problematic, both ethically and medically, given the role financial stress plays in negative health outcomes such as depression.

 

Lack of Health Insurance and Frequency of Diagnostic Imaging


 

Here's what we do know, at least as of the 2012 publication of this study from the Journal of the American College of Radiology: Uninsured Americans received fewer imaging procedures in emergency departments than insured patients. In a sense, this is unsurprising; Americans without health insurance generally receive less health care overall.

 

What we don't know is what to do about it. Should we order less imaging for insured patients, or more for uninsured patients? We won't really know until we can measure the outcomes of uninsured patients who receive equal care. To do that, we must find a way to provide truly affordable diagnostic imaging for all patients. That's where Precise Imaging can help.  

 

How Physicians Can Reduce the Financial Impact of Imaging on Patients


 

The ideal situation would be for physicians to have access to imaging centers that offer a full and flexible range of payment options along with the highest-quality service, simple scheduling, and fast results. That's exactly the combination that Precise Imaging offers to referring physicians.

 

Precise Imaging operates 70+ locations with evening and weekend hours, so your patients can always find a time and a place that suits them. If transportation is a problem, Precise Imaging can send a car for free. And with same-day scheduling and a 24-hour average turnaround on reports, you'll have the information you need without delay.

 

But the real issue for uninsured patients is the financial burden. That's why Precise Imaging's experienced billing team is trained and authorized to handle an incredible variety of payment options. For personal injury cases, they can accept liens. If workers' compensation is involved, that's no problem.

 

Precise Imaging even offers special cash prices for uninsured or underinsured patients. Friendly billing staff can also work with payors to establish structured payment plans. These options can create powerful discounts for patients in need, and might be just the assurance that you need to order a procedure you're on the fence about.

 

Financial considerations shouldn't have any place in patient care, but, unfortunately, they are real, and must be considered. Next time you're weighing the options for an uninsured patient, remember that Precise Imaging can help. Call Precise Imaging at 800-558-2223 to learn more about cash prices for uninsured patients.
