How to Pay Your Bill at Northern Virginia Radiology Consultants

Getting an imaging test like an MRI CT scan ultrasound, or x-ray provides important health information. But it also comes with a cost. At Northern Virginia Radiology Consultants (NVRC), we make paying your medical bills as quick and easy as possible. Read on to learn about your bill pay options when you receive radiology services at one of our conveniently located outpatient centers.

Understanding Your Radiology Bill

After your appointment at NVRC, you will get separate bills from the radiology facility and from the radiologists. This split billing structure is standard practice in radiology.

The facility fee covers use of equipment, supplies, and technologist services. The professional fee is for the radiologist’s time interpreting your images and sending a report to your doctor. Some key points:

• You may receive multiple bills if you had x-rays and an MRI for example. Each type of test has its own charge.

• The bills come after your appointment when the insurance claim is processed. Initial bills are not final until insurance payments are applied.

• You only pay the patient responsibility amount designated by your insurance, or self-pay rates if you have no insurance.

• Bills are sent by mail, but you can also access them through the patient portal.

• Payment is due upon receipt of the initial bill. NVRC offers online bill pay for easy handling of any balances.
