Insurance & Billing

Some medical procedures require pre-authorization from your insurance company. We will assist your doctor’s office in obtaining pre-authorization as needed. Insurance carriers who require preauthorization for imaging procedures require that your doctor provide the insurance company with some clinical information concerning your medical condition and, sometimes, prior treatments. If your plan is not listed below as a Participating Health Plan, it is your responsibility to get preauthorization, not your doctor. A partial list of common procedures requiring preauthorization can be found below.

Please work with your doctor and insurance company to ensure your preauthorization, when required, is received by Jefferson Radiology before your scheduled exam.

Without your insurance carrier’s preauthorization number you may become fully financially responsible for any services rendered or your appointment time may need to be rescheduled. Our Preauthorization Department can be reached at 860-289-3375 from 8:30 AM until 5:00 PM Monday through Friday to assist you and your doctor’s office.

Imaging exams usually requiring preauthorization are, but not limited to:

• CT scans (all diagnostic exams)
• MRI/MRA (all examinations)
• Nuclear Cardiology
• Bone Densitometry Tests

Jefferson Radiology will assist you in resolving your insurance questions with regard to our services. If necessary, our billing team can establish a payment plan to help you meet your financial responsibility.

Pay your bill online

Unlike other imaging centers, Jefferson Radiology offers both facility and reading services. This means that your visit includes both the administration of your imaging exam and the interpretation of your images by one of our radiologists. Depending on where your imaging exam is performed, you may receive two separate billing statements:

Global Billing: Under global billing, patients will receive a single bill with the total of their final costs. The statement includes both the taking and reading of images. An exam performed at any of Jefferson Radiology’s nine imaging centers falls under this category.

Professional Billing: Under professional billing, patients will receive two separate statements that together will amount to the final cost of their visit. This is because Jefferson Radiology oversees ONLY the reading of images. For example, when you visit one of Jefferson Radiology’s affiliated hospitals, you will receive one billing statement from us for the reading of your images and you will receive a separate billing statement from the affiliated hospital for the taking of your images.
