The radiologists at San Luis Diagnostic Center, a multimodality outpatient facility in California, are happy to do it all: mammography, CT scans, ultrasound, X-rays, MRI, and more. There’s one aspect of their radiology practice that they’re excited to hand off, however: billing and negotiations with third-party payers. Especially now that they’re sure they’re getting paid for all of their exams and interpretations, and at a market rate.

This practice expanded from 3 to 60 radiologists in under 2 years, without private equity overlords. Here’s how.

This is the story of how Texas Radiology Associates’ Managing Partner Ted Wen, MD, along with his board devised a plan to utilize expensive, top-tier technologies without having to turn to private equity. In the process, they started Collaborative Imaging—an industry-revolutionizing disruptor that’s helping rad practices across the U.S. to boost efficiency and economics.

Pueblo Radiology was expanding their practice and their client list—but until seeking a partner to manage their billing and revenue cycle, they had trouble collecting the money they were due. Here's how their partnership with Ci changed that, and is helping their finances thrive. 

This radiology group rebuffed a hostile takeover, doubled in size, and expanded into two new states — all while staying independent.
