Estimated read time: 4-5 minutes

In today's world, you can have someone shop for your groceries and pack them neatly into your car. You can hire someone through an app to come walk your dog. You can even have your favorite late-night treat delivered directly to your doorstep.

Why shouldn't your medical care be simplified and streamlined like every other day-to-day task has become?

TaylorMed MRI is a refreshingly straightforward approach to medical diagnoses. The Utah company makes getting an MRI simple, fast, and affordable, because no one should have to wait weeks — and jump through numerous insurance hoops — to get the imaging they require.

In a recent article for Radiology Business, Marty Stempniak writes of a Harvard study that discovered alarming delays in MRI testing. "They found that nearly half of outpatient magnetic resonance imaging requests were delayed, taking 10 days more than the expected delivery date chosen by the ordering provider," Stempniak writes. The researchers found that these delays can have a range of negative effects, from patient dissatisfaction to worse health outcomes.

Here are five reasons to take your health care into your own hands and use TaylorMed MRI for your medical imaging.

1. Speed

When it comes to your health, speed is king. It's critical to get a proper diagnosis so you can begin treatment as soon as possible.

Early detection of an array of diseases can significantly improve treatment outcomes. One study found early diagnosis of multiple sclerosis can slow down disease progression and subsequent disability. Another states that survival rates improve when cancer is detected early.

At TaylorMed, it's possible to walk in and receive an MRI that same day.

They provide quick scheduling with the same or next-day availability. You can take your medical care into your own hands on your own timelines. You can also expect a quick turnaround time for imaging results. You'll have answers within 24 hours and be on your way to feeling better.

2. Low cost

High-cost MRIs can be a financial burden for many patients. According to New Choice Health, the national average cost of an MRI is $1,325.

Lowering the cost or MRI scans reduces out-of-pocket expenses, making necessary medical care more attainable. Taylor believes widespread availability of low-cost MRIs can decrease the need for more expensive diagnostic procedures and treatments later on, as conditions can be managed more effectively when caught early.

When you choose TaylorMed, you don't need a doctor's order and complicated prior authorizations from your insurance company. You can expect a straightforward flat fee.

Prices vary depending on the area you have scanned, but for many typical scans you will pay $399. This covers the scan, the board-certified radiologist reading, and your office visit. TaylorMed's clear pricing eliminates unexpected expenses and makes it easier for patients to manage their healthcare budgets.

3. Flexible options

Magnetic resonance imaging is an excellent modality to diagnose injuries to and disease in soft tissue and organs. An MRI can look for causes of headaches or dizziness, bone or muscle pain, and even screen for cancer, according to the Mayo Clinic.

In addition to traditional MRI scans, TaylorMed MRI offers various specialized imaging services. In other words, you can get scans of anything from your head to your toes!

5. No insurance hassles

Since most insurance plans require a doctor's order for an MRI, you could wait weeks before getting the okay, depending on your insurance company. And that's not to mention the numerous phone calls and time spent obtaining authorizations.

In many cases, it's advantageous to skip the insurance hassle and pay a flat fee. At TaylorMed, there are no hidden costs involved. Plus, since you don't have to make multiple physician visits before finally getting an order for your MRI, it could save you hundreds or thousands of dollars in the long run.
