Revere Health Imaging: Providing High Value to Southern Utah Residents
Since opening its doors in December of 2020, Revere Health Imaging has provided state-of-the-art imaging services to the booming population of southern Utah. They have prioritized the latest technologies to keep pace with demand and continuously strive to provide the most convenient, accurate, and affordable imaging possible.
Here are five areas in which Revere Health Imaging provides strong value to patients:
Cost
Revere Health Imaging services cost patients on average 35 to 40 percent less than if they were to receive the same services, such as an MRI scan, in a hospital setting. They also offer flexible payment plans and discounts for patients who pay entirely out of pocket.
Insurance
“Low-cost” imaging centers often do not accept insurance, requiring patients to pay a cash payment out-of-pocket that will likely not go toward their deductible. So, even if a particular scan is advertised at a cheaper rate, the actual cost may end up being higher for the patient. Revere Health Imaging accepts all insurances.
Quality
Often, the quality of low-cost scans is not good. When scans are low quality, they will frequently need to be redone for a specialist to accurately diagnose a patient’s condition. Imaging with Revere Health avoids these repeat imaging and costly overread situations, providing a better value to the patient when or if referral to a specialist is needed. Revere Health physicians also work to eliminate unnecessary, inefficient, or duplicative tests and services, ensuring every scan is of the highest caliber and is medically necessary.
Technology
Revere Health Imaging takes pride in offering state-of-the art equipment. As such, they have invested in a 1.5T Magnet MRI machine featuring Air™ Recon DL technology from GE Healthcare. This pioneering technology allows for faster scans without sacrificing image quality, providing a better patient experience. “Clinicians and technologists will no longer have to choose between image quality and scan time,” according to a GE press release.
The facility also has a 3T MRI machine, which has a magnetic field ten times the strength of open MRI scanners and two times the strength of a Tesla machine. Both the 1.5 and 3T MRI machines have a spacious 70 cm bore and entertainment systems, enabling audio listening throughout the exams to help patients feel more at ease.
