MRI & CT EXAMS: AFFORDABLE PRICES FOR CASH PATIENTS, AND LOWER CO-PAYS FOR INSURED PATIENTS

Cash MRI and Cash CT offer lower-cost option for uninsured and insured

Universal Imaging, with locations in Auburn Hills, Troy, Dearborn Heights, and Ypsilanti, Michigan now offers large discounts up to 80% for cash paying patients needing diagnostic exams.  Universal Imaging offers not only MRI and CT exams but Nuclear, Ultrasound, and X-ray exams as well.  And because our exams are provided for much less than what a hospital charges, insurance co-pay costs are kept down as well. 

 

Universal employs board certified Radiologists, Cardiologists, and registered technologists.  This, combined with its high quality imaging equipment, ensures a high quality exam for all patients. 

 

Universal Imaging is offering an affordable solution to the many people in our area who don't have medical insurance but need a diagnostic exam.  Universal understands that it is not fair for people without insurance to be charged a price much higher that the people with insurance for the same exam.  This is why Universal offers its patients without insurance a cash discount of as high as 80% less than what is charged at a hospital.  This is the same exam, with the same quality, but at a price that can fit into the family budget. 

 

How is this possible you may ask?  Universal does not have the same overhead that a Hospital has.  Universal does not have to stay open 24 hours per day. They also do not have to accept patients without insurance who cannot afford to pay.  But Universal does have the same overhead where it counts most for the patient.  Universal employs board certified Radiologists and Cardiologists.  All of Universal's technologists are registered and its diagnostic equipment passes all of the strict guidelines necessary to be licensed as and Independent Testing Facility.  All of Universal's patients can count on getting a high quality exam comparable to the hospital for much less.  Universal also offers a financing plan for patients who qualify.

 

Universal also accepts most insurance plans.  Because Universal's list price of its diagnostic exams is usually 50% less than what is charged by most hospitals, the patients’ co-pays will also be 50% less.  People with insurance can enjoy large savings by asking their doctors to refer them to a Universal Imaging facility. 

 

Canadian patients are required to wait several weeks for some diagnostic exams like MRI or CT.  These types of exams help to determine whether or not the patient has a serious health care condition.  A quick diagnosis means not enduring months of fearing the unknown, and not losing precious time if more therapies are indicated by the outcome of the exam.  Patients do not have to put their life on hold while waiting for an exam date in Canada.  They can come to one of the Universal Imaging’s diagnostic centers in the US and have an affordable exam done at Universal and get the results the next day.  Universal will provide the patient a CD of the exam on the day of the exam, and a report from a board certified Radiologist or Cardiologist will be sent the next day.
