Diagnostic Imaging

Diagnostic imaging is one of the most important clinical tools available to physicians and patients. However, a growing number of studies have shown that a high proportion of the studies that are performed are not clinically appropriate. Additionally, the pricing for these services can vary widely across imaging facilities -- often with no discernable link between pricing.

With over 20 years of experience, AIM adds value to health plans, consumers and healthcare providers through a focused approach of improving the clinical appropriateness of these services through the application of evidence-based guidelines in an efficient and effective review process.

AIM is also a pioneer in applying transparency to support consumers in understanding the range of choices they have in selecting among diagnostic imaging providers. Through AIM's OptiNet_® program, patients and providers can gain access to valuable information on the capabilities and prices of diagnostic imaging services -- increasing the ability to make an informed decision and maximize value.
