Diagnostic Imaging
for Workers' Compensation
Expedited MRI, CT, X-ray, and ultrasound at accredited facilities nationwide — scheduled fast, pre-authorized, and billed at authorized rates.
Fast, Accurate Diagnostic Imaging — From Referral to Results
Delayed imaging means delayed diagnoses, delayed treatment, and longer open claims. HealthCare Comp's diagnostic imaging program cuts through the scheduling backlog — placing claimants at accredited facilities within 24 to 48 hours of referral, handling prior authorization, and ensuring digital results reach the treating physician the same day they're read.
Your coordinator manages every step: confirming the physician's imaging order, obtaining authorization from the carrier, identifying the most convenient accredited facility, scheduling the appointment, and following up on results delivery. You make one call. We handle the rest.
Expedited 24–48 Hour Scheduling
We place claimants at the nearest accredited facility within one to two business days — cutting weeks off typical appointment wait times.
Prior Authorization Handled for You
We obtain carrier authorization before the appointment so there are no billing disputes after. Clean claims, every time.
Digital Results to Treating Physician
Radiology reports and digital images are delivered electronically to the ordering physician the same day they're completed — no delays, no lost films.
Accredited Centers, Authorized Rates
All imaging is performed at ACR-accredited or equivalent facilities and billed at carrier-authorized rates — no billing surprises after the study is complete.
