RadiologyAssist
Prepaid, all-inclusive pricing for MRI, CT, ultrasound, and PET scans at contracted imaging centres.
Best for
Someone with a doctor's order for a scan who has been quoted a price they cannot pay.
Why Kave includes this
The quoted price includes the radiologist's read, which is the charge that turns an advertised $400 MRI into a $900 bill two weeks later. Kave rates it well on transparency for that reason specifically, and pairs it with the hospital price transparency files so a user can compare a package price against their own hospital's published cash rate.

Limitations Kave wants you to know about

- Centre availability varies by metropolitan area.
- Paying cash usually means it does not count toward your deductible — check first if you are close to meeting one.
- Contrast, sedation, and follow-up are not always included.
