Radiologists On Staff

Our radiologists are board-certified and fellowship trained with each having over 25 years of practice experience.

Our Business Model

We do not accept insurance but are rather a cash-based business, with the exception of government payers Medicare and Medicaid, which we do accept. We are often asked why we chose this model, and the answer is to save patients’ money.

Health insurance is one of the most complicated products that most people own, assuming they even have it anymore in these days of economic hardship. Each plan is different, but a high deductible plan means you are responsible to meet that dollar amount before the insurance pays the bill.

In other words, just having insurance doesn’t necessarily mean you owe nothing or next to nothing for your study. Hospitals and places that bill insurance charge a high price for these studies. Even though your plan may offer some discounts, you will still have to pay out-of-pocket until your deductible is met. This may cost you thousands of dollars depending on the plan.

There may also be a second bill for the professional interpretation from the radiologist. If you don’t have insurance, you will obviously be responsible to pay all of it. In such a case, you might decide to forego an exam important for your health and well-being.

How We Help You

We make it easy and affordable by charging one low amount. The price we give is the “out-the-door” one. There are no hidden expenses or separate bills. Our cash prices are listed here on our site, and we invite you to check them out and call area hospitals to check out their self-pay prices.

We know we are a fraction of their costs. Although we cannot give a guarantee, some plans will accept our receipt and apply the amount you paid towards your deductible.

Our Philosophy

Saving money is only a part of our mission. Providing unmatched quality medical care and the best service to our patients and to our referring providers is our primary focus. Our equipment is state-of-the-art, and our technologists carry multiple certifications and have years of experience. Our physicians are all experienced and board-certified and readily available for consultation with referring providers. We are also proud of our patient-friendly staff and the relaxed atmosphere of our practice.

Sheila Dell, CNM, CPM, LM

Palmetto Ultrasound has been a true gift! I have had a few clients in need of diagnostic scans and they were able to get them in to be seen very quickly as requested. My clients have reported that their attention and bedside manner were amazing. I highly recommend Palmetto Ultrasound. My only complaint is that there is only one location!
