Hi, Jay. I'm wondering if you're doing screening Prostate MRIs without contrast? A couple of my physicians here are interested in working with the hospital on providing these on a cash basis.
I'd be interested in what your experience in these are.
Thanks.

Briana,
One of our new radiologists has recently started up an MRI prostate program that has been well received by the urologists and referring physicians. Here is some more information from our hospital's imaging center manager.
*********************
We do the majority of our patients on the 3T system however we have a new GE Wide Bore 1.5 and we have trialed the MAGIC software and have found the images on the Wide Bore 1.5 with Magic produces great /comparable images so we will be doing some patients on the 1.5 T as well.
We are getting reimbursed for the MRI of the Pelvis but the MRI 3D Rendering charge is typically bundled and we are not getting additional revenue for that charge. A very few payers do pay on the 3D Rendering charge.
The reimbursements have been tracked by our Analytics Team so if this individual wants to contact me I could get an update from them and share.
**********************
Please contact me via email or at 417-894-0878 if you have any questions or if you want to talk to the imaging center's manager. Thanks and have a wonderful day.

We are looking into a T3 MRI made by GE for the use of Prostate exams specifically. I am doing research to find out the insurance reimbursement rates as well as pros and cons for Prostate exams. I would love to speak with another facility or manager who has experience with the billing aspects. If not, can anyone point us in the best direction for these resources? Thanks in advance!
