Access demand beyond
traditional referrals.
USRad is building a network to give independent imaging centers access to self-funded employer plans, along with self-pay patients seeking a known price.
Participate without billing insurance or negotiating separate contracts with every employer.
Reach a new referral channel
Add employer plan and self-pay demand.
Assignments aren't limited to your existing referral base, so some will introduce referrers you aren't seeing today.
Get paid without the claims cycle
Assignments arrive funded before they route to a center. USRad pays the center within 10 business days of fulfillment, the date you complete the scan and upload the final signed report.
Your contracted rate is the same whichever lane the assignment came from.

Why These Guarantees Matter
The same founding team previously built and operated AnciCare PPO's network, which grew to 1,200+ centers by the May 2002 CorVel acquisition, while more than $60 million was paid to imaging centers between 1994 and 2001.
Put Open Scanner Capacity to Work
The economic case for adding USRad assignments to capacity your center already has.
Why Incremental Volume Matters
Verified against your numbers, not ours
When a scanner has open capacity, an additional completed scan adds revenue without a matching increase in equipment, occupancy, or administrative overhead. Each center can evaluate the contribution against its own read fees, staffing, and supply costs.
Planning Basis
Evaluate against your own
15–25 additional scans per month is a deliberately conservative planning basis, not a forecast or a commitment. Actual volume varies by market, modality mix, and center.
When You Actually Get Paid
The difference between waiting and knowing
Every assignment is a Fully Funded Assignment — a defined term in our Provider Service Agreement. Funding is secured before the assignment reaches your center, and USRad pays you directly within 10 business days of fulfillment.
Every Patient Arrives Pre-Qualified
Here is exactly how a patient moves from a physician order to your imaging suite.
Physician Issues Order
A licensed physician issues a diagnostic imaging order for the patient.
Patient Submits Order
The patient submits their physician order through the USRad booking system.
USRad Verifies
USRad verifies the physician order, exam type, and patient eligibility before scheduling.
Center Performs Study
Your imaging center performs the study under your own standard clinical protocols.
Radiologist Reports
Your radiologist issues the report. Clinical control remains entirely with your center.
Your Clinical Authority Is Unchanged
Participating imaging centers maintain full clinical authority over how studies are performed and interpreted. USRad is infrastructure — not clinical oversight.
- You set your own protocols and scheduling
- Your radiologists interpret every study
- No third-party clinical oversight
Physician Order & Data Handling
USRad requires a valid physician order for all diagnostic imaging studies. Patient information is transmitted through a secure portal and is limited to what a participating center needs to schedule and perform the study.
- Valid physician order required for every study
- Your center never handles member financial data
- Patient data shared through a secure portal, not email

How Imaging Assignments Flow Through the Network
USRad is not a booking marketplace. It is a routing and fulfillment layer that connects physician demand with available scanner capacity.
The Most Important Thing to Understand
Every assignment is funded before it reaches your center.
Your front desk schedules the patient. Your team performs the study. USRad handles verification, pricing, coordination, and payment.

The Bottom Line
"What we learned from AnciCare was that imaging centers don't need another complicated network relationship. They need access to new referral opportunities, clear terms, and confidence that they'll be paid. We're building USRad around those lessons."

Placement Is Earned — Not Reserved.
USRad contracts selectively, market by market, and concentrates demand from self-funded employers and self-pay patients within that network. No position is reserved and no assignment volume is guaranteed.
You Set Your Rate
Your center sets its own rate, subject to USRad approval. A more competitive contracted rate improves your placement in patient recommendations.
Placement Can Change
Placement is not fixed at signup. Because your rate is yours to set, your position in patient recommendations can change as you change it.
Nothing Is Reserved
USRad does not reserve territory or hold positions, and joining earlier does not protect placement.
How placement is designed to work:
Priority Recommendation Placement
Centers that price competitively earn preferred placement in patient recommendations — positioning that becomes increasingly difficult to achieve once market benchmarks are established.
This is how the network is designed to distribute patient volume.
See how recommendations worksubject to approval
Built Around Local Demand
Network density is set by local conditions and demand, not by a fixed number of positions. No center's placement is protected by when it joined.

Pro Tip
Quick start: Create your account first, then complete full onboarding at your own pace. Find answers to common questions in the FAQ below—review it first to speed through setup!
Common Questions
Operational and clinical questions — answered directly
How quickly can we start receiving assignments?
Our digital onboarding system lets you review and sign required documents online, and the self-service portal walks you through each step. Once onboarding and required credentialing are complete, your center can become eligible to receive assignments.
What volume increase should we expect?
We plan on a basis of 15–25 additional scans per month. That is a deliberately conservative planning figure, not a forecast or a commitment — actual volume varies by market, modality mix, available appointment slots, and how your rate compares to others nearby. Your contracted rate is yours to set, and a more competitive rate improves your placement.
Are there any costs to join USRad?
No. Just like AnciCare, joining USRad is completely free for qualified centers. No setup fees, no monthly charges, no hidden costs. We only succeed when you succeed — our revenue comes from successfully routing patient assignments to your center.
$0 Setup
$0 Monthly
Does a valid physician order come through before a patient is
scheduled?
Yes — always. USRad requires a valid physician order before any patient is scheduled at your facility. During our verification step, we confirm the ordering physician, the prescribed exam type, and patient eligibility. No order, no appointment. This is non-negotiable in our process and mirrors the clinical intake standards your center already operates under.
How is patient data handled between USRad and our center?
Patient information handling requirements are addressed in the onboarding agreement between USRad and your center. Patient data is transmitted through a secure portal and limited to what your center needs to schedule and perform the study. Your center never handles USRad member financial data, and USRad never accesses your clinical records or systems.
Does joining USRad affect our existing payer contracts?
No. Every assignment USRad routes is funded before it reaches you — USRad secures the funding and pays your center directly. Nothing is billed through your existing payer relationships. There is no overlap with your insurance contracts, no balance billing, and no claims filing on your end. Your payer agreements remain completely independent.
What happens if a USRad patient no-shows?
Funding is secured before the appointment is confirmed at your facility. In the rare case of a no-show, your center is not exposed to a collections situation. The appointment slot simply becomes available again.
What are the contract terms and length of commitment?
Contract terms are provided during the digital onboarding process and available to review before signing. There is no long-term volume commitment required. Centers may adjust their availability and participation at any time through the provider portal.
Which imaging modalities does USRad support?
USRad currently supports MRI, CT, X-ray, and ultrasound at participating accredited facilities. Additional modalities may be confirmed during onboarding based on your center's equipment and accreditation.
Accreditation required — accredited by ACR, AIUM, IAC, The Joint Commission, or RadSite. Specific modality availability is confirmed during the credentialing process.
Be Part of Something Bigger
USRad is building the infrastructure layer that connects unused imaging capacity with patients who need access to care. Providers contribute capacity. Members receive guided access. USRad coordinates fulfillment.
USRad does not participate in the diagnostic imaging system.
USRad is the system.
