Getting an x-ray MRI, CT scan or other radiology service is an important step in monitoring your health. However these procedures also come with a cost. If you had radiology services at a RadNet imaging center, here is a guide on how to pay your RadNet radiology bill easily and securely online.
Understanding Your Radiology Bill
After your appointment, RadNet will send your radiology claim to your health insurance provider. If you have insurance, they will cover their portion of the costs. You will receive a bill from RadNet for any remaining patient responsibility.
This could include copays, coinsurance or deductibles that are part of your plan If you don’t have insurance, you’ll be responsible for the full price of services
Make sure to review your RadNet bill carefully. It will show the date of service, any codes for procedures performed, the original charges billed, what your insurance covered if applicable, and the remaining balance you owe RadNet.
Pay Online
The fastest and easiest way to pay your RadNet radiology bill is online through the secure patient portal. Online payment is available 24/7 so you can take care of your bill on your schedule.
First, you’ll need to create an account on the RadNet patient portal. Have your account number handy from your billing statement.
Once logged in, you can view your account balance, past statements and make a one-time payment. Major credit cards, debit cards and checking accounts are accepted.
You’ll receive an email confirmation with details of your payment right away. Your account will be updated instantly so you can see your new balance.
Pay by Phone
If you don’t have time to log into the portal, you can also pay your RadNet radiology bill quickly by phone.
Call 888-601-0943 for Community Radiology locations or 410-298-0454 for American Radiology locations. Follow the prompts to enter your account number and billing details.
The automated phone system will guide you through making a payment by credit card, debit card or check. You can also store payment information to expedite future calls.
After paying by phone, you’ll receive a confirmation number as proof of payment. Expect an email or mailed receipt as well.
Pay by Mail
Mail is a traditional but slower way to pay your RadNet radiology bill. Send your check or money order to the address listed on your statement.
Be sure to include your full account number on the check memo line. Allow 7-10 business days for mailed payments to be received and processed.
Your next statement will reflect the payment made so you can double check it was applied correctly to your balance.
In-Person Payments
Some RadNet imaging centers accept in-person payments for added convenience. Visit locations during business hours and have your account information ready.
RadNet centers accept cash, checks, credit cards and debit cards. You’ll receive a printed receipt at the time of payment.
Check the center’s website or call ahead to confirm if in-person payment is available before visiting. Not all locations offer this option.
Apply for Financial Assistance
If paying your RadNet bill poses a financial hardship, you may qualify for financial assistance. RadNet offers options like payment plans and hardship discounts for those in need.
Payment plans allow you to make smaller incremental payments over several months. This makes balances more affordable for limited budgets.
Hardship discounts reduce your total responsibility by 30%, 50% or more based on your specific situation. Discounts apply after insurance payments.
Contact a RadNet financial counselor to discuss your eligibility for these medical bill relief programs. Provide details on income, expenses and hardship circumstances.
Avoid Late Fees
RadNet bills are due within 30 days of the statement date. A late fee of $10 or 10% of the balance (whichever is greater) is charged if payment is not received on time.
You can avoid late fees by paying your bill promptly using one of the convenient options. Setup automatic payments or payment reminders so your bill never slips your mind.
If you need more time, call RadNet to request an extended due date. Partial payments may also be accepted to show a good faith effort.
Get Payment Estimates
Even before you have an appointment, you can get an estimate of what you will owe for radiology services. This allows you to budget the expense in advance.
Self-pay patients without insurance can request a “Good Faith Estimate” when booking their appointment. This will outline expected out-of-pocket costs.
Insured patients can also use the online estimator tool for an approximate price based on average costs for services at RadNet locations.
