Diagnostic imaging is one of the most controllable line items in a self-funded health plan, and Smart Scan is purpose-built to help you take advantage of that. When employees use Smart Scan instead of a hospital outpatient facility, organizations routinely see savings of 60–80% on the same imaging services. An affordable MRI scan at Smart Scan can be as low as $650, compared to several thousand dollars at a hospital. Multiplied across your employee population, those savings add up quickly. Our Partner Programs are designed to make Smart Scan the clear, easy default for your members, and we can provide real-world cost comparisons to show you exactly what your organization stands to save.

We've worked hard to make sure employees don't feel like they're choosing a lower tier of care when they choose Smart Scan—because they're not. Our outpatient imaging centers offer wider-bore MRI scanners for a more comfortable, quieter experience, same-day or next-day appointments so employees aren't waiting weeks, and a warm, welcoming environment that feels nothing like a hospital. Results are sent to their doctor within hours, not days. Employees consistently report high satisfaction with our service, and a better member experience translates directly into higher utilization of the benefit, which is what drives your cost savings over time.

Absolutely. Smart Scan's facilities are fully ACR-accredited—the highest standard in the imaging industry—and all studies are interpreted by board-certified, fellowship-trained radiologists with subspecialty expertise. We also integrate FDA-approved AI technology to enhance accuracy and consistency across every scan. Your employees receive the same clinical quality as a hospital system, at a fraction of the cost. For employers and benefits decision-makers, this means you're not trading quality for savings—you're simply steering volume to a more efficient, employee-friendly provider.

Getting started is simple. Reach out to our Partner Programs team, and we'll begin with a cost and utilization assessment for your employee population, using real data to show you where imaging spend is going and how much you could redirect toward better outcomes and lower costs. From there, we'll walk you through how to position Smart Scan as a preferred or in-network imaging benefit and provide the communications resources to drive employee awareness and adoption.
