Getting medical imaging services like X-rays, CT scans and MRIs is often necessary for diagnosis and treatment. If you had a radiology exam, you’ll receive a bill from the radiology provider. Paying your radiology bill promptly ensures continued access to important diagnostic services. Many radiology providers now offer easy online bill pay options. Read on to learn the benefits of paying your radiology bill online and how to do it.
Overview of Radiology Billing
Imaging tests like X-rays, mammograms, ultrasounds, CT scans, PET scans, MRIs, and nuclear medicine exams are done by radiology practices. Your doctor will order these services, which can be done in imaging centers, hospitals, and outpatient clinics.
After your radiology exam the images are interpreted by a radiologist physician and a report is sent to your ordering provider. You’ll then receive a bill from the radiology practice for their professional services. This is separate from any facility fees billed by the location where you had the imaging done.
Radiology bills are typically sent on a monthly basis and have a due date 30-60 days out. You are responsible for any copays, deductibles, or other amounts not covered by your health insurance.
