*pricing is an average based on area hospital charges

Here are three things to consider when choosing where to have your medical imaging exam:

Affordability

If you have a high deductible insurance plan, then you know it is important to ask questions about pricing, value and out-of-pocket expenses. Be sure to ask how many bills you will receive. Many hospital-based centers will send two or even three separate bills for technical, professional and facility fees. At Durham Diagnostic Imaging, you will receive just one bill that is all-inclusive, with no hidden charges.

We provide all patients with a Good Faith Estimate that includes individual patient details based on your insurance plan and the study being performed. This estimate takes into account your insurance coverage, deductible and copay or coinsurance.

Quality

High-quality imaging is a promise we make to our patients and our referring physicians. We use state-of-the-art equipment that is accredited by the American College of Radiology. Our expert team includes onsite, board-certified, fellowship-trained radiologists and registered technologists.

All radiologists are board certified
All technologists are registered and certified in each of their respective modalities
All imaging equipment is evaluated annually by an independent medical physicist

Convenience

We are network of nine statewide locations offering same-day and next-day appointments, weekend and evening hours to allow for convenient access to our high-quality imaging services. We are not part of a hospital system with complex navigation and large parking decks; we are freestanding facilities and provide easy, front door parking. Your experience with us will be safe and efficient with minimal waiting and no worries about being rescheduled in order to accommodate urgent or ER cases.

Pricing

Shopping for healthcare will save you money

If your healthcare provider orders an MRI, CT Scan, Ultrasound, or X-ray, you have a choice where your test is performed. Choosing a North Carolina Diagnostic Imaging facility can save you hundreds or even thousands of dollars.

Get an Estimate

We will be happy to deliver a no-commitment price estimate (no appointment necessary) based on your current insurance plan. Even if you don’t have insurance, our staff can quickly provide you with self-pay pricing options.

Request a mammogram appointment

Mammograms are only available at our Durham and Fayeteville locations.

Your time is important – to you, your family and us. That’s why screening mammograms performed at Durham Diagnostic Imaging generally take less than 30 minutes – less time than a typical doctor’s office visit.

Screening mammograms are the best way to help find breast cancer in its earliest stages, when cure rates are highest. A screening mammogram is for women who do not have significant symptoms. If we find a problem during your screening mammogram, or if you are experiencing unusual symptoms, we may recommend you receive a diagnostic mammogram or other breast imaging procedure to help identify the cause.

Radiologist bios

Radiologists

Our imaging center provides community-based onsite radiology staffing during primary business hours to ensure an accurate, quick turnaround on reports and easier consultation between the referring physician and reading radiologist. Radiologists are fellowship trained and reports are delivered to the referring provider within 24-48 hours of their patient’s appointment.

The radiologists who read images taken at this center are not employees of this center or employees of this center’s manager. Rather, they are independent contractors. That means they have their own liability insurance, and neither this center nor this center’s manager is responsible for the radiologists’ actions or controls their medical decision-making.
