When it comes to your health, diagnostic imaging is often a critical step — but questions about insurance and payment shouldn’t stand in the way of getting the care you need. At P.E.T. C.T. & MRI of Miami, we believe in making high-quality imaging accessible and transparent, with flexible payment options and support every step of the way.
This blog will help you better understand how insurance works for imaging services, what to do if you’re uninsured or underinsured, and how to get answers to any billing questions that may come up during your care journey.
Understanding Your Insurance Coverage
Many health insurance plans cover medically necessary imaging services such as PET scans, CT scans, MRI, X-rays, mammography, ultrasound, and bone density testing. However, coverage specifics can vary depending on your plan and provider.
Here’s how to check your coverage before your appointment:
- Call your insurance provider: Ask about coverage for the specific imaging test ordered, as well as any copays, deductibles, or prior authorization requirements.
- Contact our billing team: At P.E.T. C.T. & MRI of Miami, our staff will verify your insurance benefits and obtain any necessary authorizations to ensure you’re informed about costs before your scan.
- In-network plans: We accept most major insurance providers and will let you know if we are in-network for your plan.
We recommend bringing your insurance card and ID to your appointment to ensure smooth processing and quick verification.
Payment Plans and Assistance
If you don’t have insurance, or if your plan doesn’t fully cover the cost of your imaging, we offer flexible and transparent payment solutions.
Options include:
- Self-pay discounts: Uninsured patients can take advantage of reduced rates when paying out-of-pocket.
- Interest-free payment plans: We’ll work with you to create a custom plan that fits your budget and allows you to get the imaging you need without financial stress.
- Financial assistance guidance: Our staff can help you explore any available programs or referrals that may assist in covering costs.
Our goal is to ensure cost is never a barrier to quality imaging and early diagnosis.
How to Navigate Billing Questions
We understand that medical billing can be confusing, so we’ve made it easy to get the answers you need:
- Speak directly with our billing department: Our team is available to review your bill, explain charges, and walk you through insurance statements.
- Request itemized statements: If you need detailed documentation for your records or reimbursement, we’re happy to provide that.
- Ask questions early: Don’t wait until after your appointment — we encourage patients to call us before their visit with any concerns about cost or insurance.
At P.E.T. C.T. & MRI of Miami, we believe financial transparency is part of good patient care.
