Northwest Radiology Network Launches Flat Rate Pricing for Medical Cost Transparency

INDIANAPOLIS - June 1, 2015 - PRLog -- Northwest Radiology Network announces the launch of a groundbreaking medical cost program — flat rate pricing — and is one of the first radiology imaging centers based in Indiana to do so.

The cost of a patient's imaging procedure is guaranteed to not exceed the published price from Northwest Radiology, regardless of insurance. This published cost can be found on the Northwest Radiology Network website: www.northwestradiology.com/pricing (http://www.mmsend10.com/link.cfm?r=246743137&sid=75770590&m=10219028&u=COLES&j=27958719&s=http://www.northwestradiology.com/pricing/).

Flat rate pricing makes it easier for consumers to shop for healthcare, which a growing number of patients are doing because of increased out-of-pocket expenses, copays and deductibles.

"This is healthcare the way it should be," said Dr. Kent Hansen, president and CEO of Northwest Radiology. "We are committed to providing high-quality patient care in a transparent, cost-effective, efficient environment."

As part of this commitment, the launch of a transparent, flat rate pricing program lets the patient say goodbye to confusing, high-priced medical bills and know exactly what he or she will pay before the procedure.

"Patients deserve to have a clear price before their imaging procedure," Dr. Hansen said. "With flat rate pricing, they know exactly what they will pay. And they will get the same high-quality imaging from our trusted local physicians without the confusing medical bills."

With 50 board-certified radiologists, Northwest Radiology Network is one of the largest physician-owned radiology practices in Indiana, providing diagnostic imaging services for more than 40 years.

Northwest Radiology offers flat rate pricing at its two free-standing imaging centers in central Indiana, located at 10603 N. Meridian St. in Carmel, and 8260 Naab Rd. in Indianapolis.

Northwest Radiology guarantees patients will not be billed more than the prices posted. Payments will also still go toward the patient's deductible.

Flat rate pricing is available now at Northwest Radiology. For more information, visit: www.northwestradiology.com (http://www.mmsend10.com/link.cfm?r=246743137&sid=7577...). To schedule an appointment, call 317-972-9669.
