Tellica Imaging Helping to Improve Access and Lower the Cost of Care with Two New Imaging Centers in Southern New Hampshire
(PRUnderground) September 11th, 2024
Tellica Imaging, an Intermountain Heath company, is helping to bring down the cost of healthcare with the opening of two new imaging clinics in southern New Hampshire.
The centers offer advanced imaging (MRI and CT scans), but because they’re done in traditional retail locations without the overhead of a hospital or traditional medical setting, the cost is significantly lower.
“A large percentage of the imaging we do in medicine could be done outside of a hospital, but people usually go to a hospital out of habit not realizing it may cost thousands of dollars more,” said Doug Greally, MD, president chief medical officer for Tellica Imaging. “Medical imaging is fundamental to both diagnosis and treatment of patients in modern medicine, and this is how we’re improving access for everyone.”
Tellica uses flat rate transparent pricing, so patients know what they will pay upfront.
While some insurances may cover the service, the most anyone would pay out of pocket is $400 for a CT scan and $600 for an MRI. The fee includes the radiologist reading, lab work, and any intravenous contrast.
For those who don’t have insurance or are on a high deductible plan, this type of upfront low pricing can make a major difference in receiving care.
This new model of care aims not only to lower costs but bring services closer to where people live. The newest Tellica locations are in Manchester and Nashua.
”At Tellica Imaging, we are committed to access, affordability, quality, and care,” said Brad Isaacson, president and chief operating officer of Tellica Imaging. “Our imaging centers won’t just help patients, but it can also relieve the backlog of appointments at local hospitals for providers.”
