Deaconess Hospital Medical Imaging, located in Cincinnati, Ohio, is focused on providing patients with the same superior, high quality imaging services -- but at a lower cost.  Deaconess has recently announced new, flat pricing for MRI, CT Scans and Diagnostic Ultrasounds, whether you are a self-pay or have private insurance.   Here are some of the details on their new pricing.

• Deaconess offer a low, flat-rate price for three different medical imaging scans, so that consumers and their doctors know in advance the cost of certain tests, including CT Scans, MRI Scans and Diagnostic Ultrasound procedures.

• Deaconess works with the Radiologists, so the price includes both the Hospital and Radiologist fee.  

• One price for each of the three types of scans (regardless of body part), so that our pricing would be both simple and transparent.

          o All MRI Scans $795
          o All CT Scans $565
          o All Diagnostic Ultrasounds $200

• Consumers with high deductible health insurance plans with health savings accounts, consumers who have private health insurance plans with allowable fees above our new prices, as well as consumers who pay directly for their health care, can all save money.

• The new flat prices have reduced the costs for several insurance plans by reducing the mutually agreed upon contractual price.

• Deaconess recognizes that consumers make decisions based on the lowest cost and the highest quality.  Deaconess offers other features and services including the convenience of same day scheduling and a very quick turnaround of results.

• These prices do not apply to consumers with Medicare or Medicaid coverage.  The new prices set by Deaconess are above what the government pays the hospital and the hospital is not allowed to offer price discounts to either of these government plans.
