Billing Overview
Radiologists are physician specialists, like your primary care physician and surgeon. Your bill will reflect our physicians time spent in three areas: examination, interpretation of test results and/or consultation. If there is a radiology charge on your hospital bill, it is for the facility staff, any medications, supplies and equipment, not for physician services.
How Services are Billed
The total cost of radiology services is typically split into "technical" and "professional" components. The technical component is the hospital or facility fee, which includes the technical staff's time, use of the radiology equipment and facilities, and any supplies used for the test. The professional component is the fee for the radiologist, the physician who provides supervision of the examination, interpretation of the test results, and also includes a written report of the results for both the medical record and the doctor who ordered the test.
