Scheduled outpatient MRI & CT

Paying for a scan yourself? Vivaldi contacts local imaging facilities to compare prices for the scan your clinician ordered. If a suitable, lower-priced option is available, we help you understand the terms and next steps.

Access is by request. We’ll first confirm whether we can help in your area.

How it works

A price check before the appointment.

The scan you need comes first. Then we check where it can be done and what each option would cost.

01

Ask whether we can help

Tell us how to reach you and where you need help. We’ll confirm whether your request is within scope and explain the next step.

02

We contact local facilities

Once the scan requirements are clear, Vivaldi asks facilities about prices, what is included, and appointment availability.

03

Review your options

We explain the prices and terms we receive. If a suitable option costs less, we help with the next steps. You decide whether to pursue it.

Requesting access does not book, cancel, or change an appointment.

A useful comparison

Know what the price covers.

A useful comparison needs more than a number. Vivaldi checks the requested MRI or CT against each facility’s response and makes missing information clear.

The requested scan

The scan details and any requirements that affect the quote.

Included charges

What the facility says is included, including image interpretation, and what may be charged separately.

Practical terms

Location, availability, payment conditions, and any limits on the quote.

A price comparison does not establish that facilities are clinically equivalent. Your clinician determines the scan and care requirements.

Who we help

For people paying for scans—and the teams helping them.

Self-pay

Paying for your own MRI or CT

Ask whether Vivaldi can check local options before your scan. We’ll confirm availability before asking for further details.

Free Imaging Savings Audit

Start with a limited sample of historical outpatient MRI and CT spending. Vivaldi reviews the sample against available local price evidence to identify where a price check before future scans may be worth testing.

Request a free audit
What you receive
  • Cases or locations that warrant closer investigation.
  • The basis for each comparison and the information still missing.
  • A recommendation on whether to test price checks before upcoming scans.

We agree on the sample and how to share it before any data changes hands.

The audit estimates potential opportunities. It does not establish realized savings or confirm that a historical alternative is available today.

Questions

What to know before you ask.

Which scans does Vivaldi focus on?

Scheduled outpatient MRI and CT. We first confirm whether we can help with your request and location.

Will you always find a lower price?

No. Prices, availability, and scan requirements vary. A lower-priced option may not be available or appropriate.

Who decides whether another facility is appropriate?

Your clinician determines the scan and care requirements. Vivaldi compares price information; it does not make clinical decisions or establish that facilities are equivalent.

Do you book or change my appointment?

Submitting a request does neither. If there is an option you want to pursue, we explain the next steps before anything changes.

What does Vivaldi cost?

We discuss any applicable fees before you agree to further work. The initial business Imaging Savings Audit is free.

Should I send my scan order or medical records?

No. Use the public form only to request contact. If we can help, we’ll explain what information is needed and how to share it.

Have an MRI or CT coming up?

If you expect to pay directly, ask whether Vivaldi can check local prices before your scan.

Access is by request. Availability depends on the scan and location.

Vivaldi gathers and compares price information. It does not provide medical advice or determine insurance coverage. Prices, availability, and potential savings depend on the individual request.
