The Problem We Solve
Imaging shouldn't be
this hard to access.
A scan is never just a scan. It determines diagnoses, treatment plans, outcomes.
But for millions of Americans, the challenge isn't just quality — it's whether they get imaged at all. Delayed imaging. Unclear pricing. No simple way to find and book the right provider.
The result isn't just inconvenience. It's missed diagnoses, delayed care, and worse outcomes.
Because healthcare doesn't improve until the patient actually gets imaged.
USRad is building Accessible Imaging.
The right imaging center, at a transparent price, with a clear path to the appointment.
Why imaging through USRad costs less
The scan is the same. The difference is how it's billed.
Hospitals bundle imaging into complex billing systems
Routine MRI scans are often billed through hospital overhead and chargemaster pricing structures, which can produce very high list prices for patients.
Independent imaging centers specialize in diagnostic scans
Freestanding imaging centers focus exclusively on imaging services and operate with far lower overhead than hospitals.
USRad connects patients directly to those centers
USRad is building a network of accredited imaging centers with transparent global pricing.
