Why CMI
Outpatient imaging offers clear and definitive advantages in patient experience and cost savings. Patients often do not consider these differences when choosing where to take an imaging exam. Consider these factors-
Convenience
CMI offers three convenient locations, providing options to best serve you. Parking is readily available with no large parking garages, easy access to check-in, and accessibility.
Cost
As a patient you have choices in where to have your imaging performed. CMI embraces patient cost concerns, noting substantial savings over hospital-based imaging. CMI costs are 40-50% lower than hospital imaging, and CMI patients only receive one bill with all fees included. Hospital imaging is much higher in cost with more overhead, resulting in several charges- a facility/technical fee and Radiologist/professional fee in separate bills. When comparing costs with other facilities, you should always ask for a quote that includes both the Radiologist/professional fee and the facility/technical fees.
For our uninsured patients, CMI offers a 40% discount, as well as an interest-free payment plan for 12 months.
Expertise
CMI provides expert care and results, in an outpatient focused environment.
Our team of professionals is dedicated to meeting the needs of you, your family, and your designated care team.

Most plans do require prior authorization for certain types of exams. You may call the number on the back of your insurance card, and they can answer any question regarding what your plan covers and requires. You may also contact us at 503-216-8436 or 503-216-8447, and we can assist you in determining if your plan requires prior authorization for your exam.
We do not collect a co-pay at the time of your exam. For this reason, we first submit a claim to your insurance plan(s) after your exam has been completed and the results have been provided. Your insurance plan examines your claims history and informs us as to what portion of the exam charges if any, need to be billed to you. This is driven and accounted for entirely by your insurance plan.
