You have a choice: MRI costs and services are not all equal. Shields provides high-value imaging.
As noted in a recent feature from Boston.com and WCVB, prices can vary widely in healthcare costs. The lesson learned? Get educated on costs and find high-value alternatives whenever possible.
For example, Shields is an independent MRI provider – not only does that mean that we are experienced and focused in the imaging arena, investing in the very highest technology and providing image reads by specialty radiologist, but it means that our efficient service model isn’t spread out across other health care services like a hospital might assume. This allows the price of our MRI and imaging services to be significantly lower when compared to the average city teaching hospital. The price of the same MRI can double or even triple when a patient chooses to have their scan at a major Boston academic hospital.
As we see the trend of high-deductible healthcare plans continue to rise, more and more patients are becoming responsible for the cost of their health care. It’s your health care and it’s your choice. When it comes to MRI and imaging, chose Shields for true high-value imaging experience.
