By: HHK Healthcare Marketing Pricing for imaging services like x-rays, ultrasounds, mammograms and MRI’s can vary hundreds even thousands of dollars depending on the facility. There a few simple steps to follow when price comparing. First, identify a few locations that provide the services needed. Some are free standing and some are affiliated with hospitals. Second, it is important to ask if the facility provides global billing or separate billing. Dr. Garovich explains, “Global billing generally means lower cost. All of the services are on one bill as opposed to several bills received in the mail weeks after the service was provided.” Another point to remember for those insured is to inquire about the contracted rate. States Dr. Garovich, “High deductible plan patients definitely want to do their homework. Contracted rates can vary greatly. This can translate to savings that directly benefits the patient.” Overall, Dr. Garovich says it is important to remember that it is the patient’s right to choose where to receive their medical needs.
