Compared to installing your own magnet, we're the short cut to best practices, increased revenues, and no worries! We commit the capital investments in keeping our systems, software, and technologists on the leading edge of technology and applications… and bring it all to your door.

For you, that translates to:

• no equipment acquisition costs
• no annual hardware/software upgrade costs
• no annual maintenance costs
• no ongoing technologist training or recruiting costs
• no staffing or screening costs
• no building costs

Quite simply, MRI Mobile is a complete end-to-end solution without the headaches.

We have a history of helping facilities get involved in MRI services and growing them to the point where the purchase of their own magnet makes sound financial sense. And why make a multi-million dollar investment until it does make financial sense? Why not let us help you get there.

MRI Mobile can help you capture lost revenue with a welcomed new service in your community. Ask your radiologist or radiology manager and they will tell you that MRI actually complements CT rather than detracting from it. Fact is, CT is a great scan for bone, but MR does a better job on soft tissue. Together, they offer the best picture of your patient's condition. We offer a complete program with an 18-year track record of quality performance. Let us show you how easy it is to add MRI service to your portfolio.

If you don't offer MRI services, where are your patients going for their MR exams? What other peripheral tests and prescriptions are you losing when they go? Do you ever get them back? Tough questions.

Patients and customers return to businesses because they are easy to work with and provide products and services that are wanted and needed. Your patients are much more likely to stay with you if you're providing as many of their needed services as possible, in a friendly environment using up-to-date equipment. MRI Mobile can assist in your efforts toward patient retention.

American College of Radiology (ACR) magnet accreditation, held by better than 60 percent of the nation's hospitals, has become the "gold standard" for ensuring the highest quality scanning capabilities. MRI Mobile was among the first in the nation to achieve this distinction in the late 1990s, and we continue to utilize a fleet of American College of Radiology (ACR) accredited General Electric and Siemens high-field magnets.

Our magnets are continually upgraded and fully equipped to provide state-of-the-art, quality diagnostic images. Each of our vans carries a full complement of body-specific coils to ensure that the final image is the absolute best it can be.

Coupled with on-board, dry-laser cameras and DiCom capabilities, our final image products rival that of many fixed-site hospital systems. In addition, all of our magnets are maintained under strict original-equipment manufacturer (OEM) maintenance agreements that yield a very enviable 99 percent uptime record.

For anyone that doesn't know the MRI business, here lies "the difference that makes all the difference". All other things being equal, it's the technologist that creates outstanding imaging. All of our technologists are American Registry of Radiologic Technologists (ARRT) trained-at a minimum-with many achieving MR-certification as well. Our ongoing training is intensive-including annual re-certification in advanced MR applications, internal training, and certification programs on patient interaction, handling, safety, and emergency procedures.

Each of our technologists is an expert armed with cross training on General Electric, Siemens, and other MR systems. Each has also developed a patient sensitivity that money simply can't buy.

As a company, we are keenly aware that the experience of your patients in our MRI Mobile van reflects as much (or more) on your facility as it does on our service to you. We work hard to make our relationship transparent to your community. We are committed to total professionalism and patient sensitivity that reflects the reputations that we've both worked long and hard to earn.

We always work with our partners to develop the schedule that best meets their needs. We always stay for the "add-ons" during our service days, and if you'll allow us to do your patient scheduling, we will know when you need additional days of service -before you have to ask for them.

A true partner should be looking out for the best interest of both parties. With your input, we may decide that evening or weekend hours make it more convenient for your market area to take advantage of your services. We'll be there when you need us!

A contract is either a litany of individual transactions or the beginning of a problem-solving partnership. We choose to approach our agreements as the latter. We work closely with you to design win/win/win relationships, knowing that when you and your patients are winning, it is the only time that we really win.

Through our discussions with you, we try to anticipate not only current, but also future needs, and address them in plain and simple language.

If your goal is simply to expand services to your community, that is our goal as well. If your goal is to grow your MRI business to where two years from now you install and run your own magnet, we'll write an agreement that gives you the flexibility to do that. If you're nervous about getting started, we even have a "zero-risk" alternative: Instead of a per-scan fee arrangement, this option enables you to view your own numbers so you can do your own billing and base your decisions on your actual results.

The contracting choices are yours.

As a company, we know that communication is the foundation of a good relationship with our partner facilities, and we are committed to building this foundation every day. We work closely with our partners to make sure everyone fully understands the expectations for documentation, protocols, patient care procedures, and more (not to mention code blue, fire, and general safety!).

From the initial agreement to the arrival of our start-up team to our ongoing daily operations, communication is always key. And we believe it should be direct and simple-not automated, with a touch-tone menu between us!

Up to this point, you may not have considered staffing/FTE (Full Time Employment) requirements for contra-indication screening and patient scheduling. Relax. We've got you covered.

Our toll-free centralized call center will handle all your MRI scheduling, screening for contraindications, and appointment confirmations. Our highly trained, multi-lingual staff is prepared to answer both patient and physician questions 24 x 7-whether their questions are about scheduling, the process of MR imaging, or billing.

As part of MRI Mobile's total-service approach, we work with your facility managers and IT department to ensure that equipment placement is optimal, and that all information-technology components (network hook-ups, DiCom cabling, etc.) are set to work correctly from the start. We will be with you every step of the way, down to securing the necessary power connectors and even giving input on where to locate the concrete pad, if necessary.

After the agreement is finalized, we deploy a "start up" team that will visit your campus weeks prior to our first full day of operation. The object of the visit is to ensure greater understanding and communication between your staff and ours.

Our team will meet with your designated staff to discuss your current processes, procedures, etc. We will then collaborate with you to establish and document agreed-upon procedures for all aspects of our service to your patients and physicians. By the end of our visit, your staff will be comfortable with what to expect on the initial day of service and beyond. They will be provided with appropriate phone numbers, fax numbers, email addresses, and names of individuals who can answer any questions, as well as a hard copy of materials for easy reference. In this manner, each partner can understand the expectation levels of the other, and we can build a high confidence level between our organizations from day one.

During our contracting phase, MRI Mobile offers these services to you:

• Scheduling patients (Multi-lingual operators are available, when needed)
• Doing callbacks to confirm appointments
• Performing final patient screenings
• Researching all confirmed contraindications for clearance prior to our scanning procedure

Before a patient's MRI exam, we carefully screen him/her utilizing a comprehensive form.

If your patient has claustrophobic tendencies and you wish to order medication, please instruct your patient on when to take the prescription prior to the exam.

For the convenience of you and your patients, we at MRI Mobile would be happy to work with you.

At MRI Mobile, we pride ourselves in the flexibility we offer to our business partners. Therefore, each healthcare facility we service makes its own determinations about the acquisition of radiological services. In the true sense of partnership, MRI Mobile, if requested, will work with a partner to obtain the necessary ancillary services to ensure the successful implementation of the total MRI service outsource.

Our information-technology experts can configure our DiCom-compatible fleet to meet the networking-communications needs of your office. MRI Mobile works closely with Boise Advanced Imaging to deliver radiological services to complete your MRI Imaging service delivery.
