Exam Cost Estimate for Uninsured and Self-Pay Patients
The Good Faith Estimate (GFE) is a required notification sent by healthcare providers to uninsured and self-pay patients that outlines reasonably expected charges for a medical item or service, such as an imaging study. The GFE is based on information known at the time of scheduling. Uninsured and self-pay patients will automatically receive a GFE via text or email when they schedule an appointment at our center. Uninsured and self-pay patients may also request a GFE prior to scheduling. Click this button for more detailed information on GFE.

What does “Pending Authorization” mean for my exam?
There are several reasons why your exam may be pending authorization. First, it should not be assumed that authorization was denied, only that more time and/or information is needed to complete the process. Oftentimes, your chart notes from your doctor must be obtained and sent to the insurance company for review. The staff at American Radiology will ensure that is accomplished so you don’t have to.
