CONTRIBUTED CONTENT — When you’re living with chronic pain in your knees, back, shoulders, joints or any part of your body, relief can’t come soon enough.

Unfortunately, dealing with the health care system can be a pain all on its own. According to a 2017 survey of physician appointment wait times, it takes an average of 24 days to schedule your first appointment with a doctor. And once you finally secure that appointment, there’s no guarantee that your insurance company will cover the care you need.

But what if there was a way to bypass the headaches of waiting for an open appointment or dealing with the insurance hassle?

In many cases, your road to recovery may be much shorter with the right imaging – specifically magnetic resonance imaging. And that’s why one Utah doctor is working hard to make MRIs easier and more affordable, so you can get back to full health as quickly as possible.

Expedite the healing process with an MRI

At TaylorMED MRI, you don’t have to bother with doctor visits, deductibles, co-pays and pre-authorizations. You don’t even need a doctor’s order. They offer quick and affordable MRI scans, with same-day scheduling and walk-ins available.

MRI is the best imaging modality to diagnose soft tissue and bone injuries. With MRIs, doctors can diagnose patients faster and start necessary treatments sooner. An MRI can evaluate the source of headaches or dizziness, look for causes of bone or muscle pain and even screen for cancer.

Save time and money

When you’re in pain, nothing is more frustrating than having to wait several weeks for an appointment – or several hours once you’re finally in the office. That’s why TaylorMED MRI offers low-cost, cash-pay pricing for as little as $399 an area. Since they don’t require a doctor’s order, they can help you save money by skipping initial visits with primary care doctors and avoiding the costs of X-rays and other costly diagnostic services.

Once you have your MRI results, you’ll have a better idea of where to go next – whether that’s a visit to a surgeon, a physical therapist or your primary care doctor.

Avoid the insurance runaround

Aside from saving time and money, your visit to TaylorMED MRI is worth it if only to avoid the pain of dealing with insurance. The insurance hassle causes headaches for both patients and doctors alike.

A recent poll conducted by Aimed Alliance found that nearly half (48%) of doctors were considering a career change because of their frustrations over insurer policies and delays. 87% of doctors say patients’ conditions have grown worse because of insurance “red tape regulations,” and 83% worry that patients suffer prolonged pain because of it. 91% of doctors surveyed believed health insurance policies delayed necessary care for patients.

If you’ve ever had to get treatments or procedures pre-approved, you know that working with insurance can be confusing and frustrating. And some insurance carriers may deny your request for an MRI. But with the TaylorMED MRI low cash price, you can still get the imaging you need without breaking the bank.

In fact, patient Robin Oler had that exact problem.

“After being denied by my insurance for an MRI for chronic back pain, I found TaylorMED,” Oler said. “So glad I did! Way more affordable, they fit me in immediately, and I had my results back the same day!”
