For Patients
You have a Choice
Premier Radiology would like you to know that not all diagnostic imaging facilities are created equally.
We work for you and your physician, not the government, health care industry, insurance company, or hospital bureaucrats. We believe the highest quality, patient-centered health care is provided by competitive free markets, not the inefficient morass of our current health care system or unresponsive government run monopolies. Bureaucratic micro-management by government and insurance companies, cost shifting, and the absence of competitive free market principles are among the culprits that have caused health care in the United States to be unnecessarily expensive. As patients find themselves paying more and more out of pocket, it is clear that something must change.
At Premier Radiology we are committed to providing compassionate, convenient, state-of-the-art diagnostic imaging services at reasonable prices. Our facilities are staffed by friendly front desk representatives, skilled, compassionate technical staff, and board-certified subspecialty radiologists. Our registration, waiting, and changing areas are created for your privacy and convenience. We offer same day appointments and reports. Diagnostic images are available to your physician before you leave our office. Complete reports are delivered within hours. Convenient ramp access is available if you need assistance. Parking, snacks, and internet access are free. We accept all major insurance plans.
If you have a high deductible insurance policy or are part of a self-insured plan at a large company, you owe it to yourself, or your business, to take a look at our facilities and pricing. If you need a study that is not approved, or paid for, by your insurance company or government health care plan, please speak with us about a competitive private payment contract with reasonable fees; we will provide the service you need. Finally, if you have no health insurance at all, our facilities offer quality and pricing that we believe are unmatched.
To make the most informed decision, we have provided price comparisons with several area hospitals for some of the most common diagnostic imaging tests. As you can see, Premier Radiology is much less expensive than local hospitals.
The pricing outlined on this website is not a teaser, nor is it a bait-and-switch ploy. There are no hidden costs, charges or surprises. These are the actual prices you will pay. We can offer these self-pay cash prices because we are completely physician-owned and managed without the restraints of hospital-based service. We are truly committed to providing the best quality care at the lowest possible price.
You have a choice when it comes to where you receive your health care. Just because your physician works at Vanderbilt or other local hospitals does not mean you need to have your imaging studies done at their facilities. You can have your studies done wherever you choose. The next time you need a diagnostic imaging test or pain management procedure, let your physician know that you would like an appointment at Premier Radiology.
