Welcome to Summit Radiology
Summit Radiology is the only radiology provider in the Stateline area to have been awarded a three-year term of accreditation in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) by the American College of Radiology (ACR). The ACR accreditation “seal” is awarded to facilities for the achievement of high practice standards in imaging. When you see the seal you’ll know the personnel are well qualified, through education and certification; the equipment is appropriate for the test or treatment you will receive; and the facility meets or exceeds quality assurance and safety guidelines. These primary factors affect the quality of clinical images and ultimately the quality of patient care. As always, Summit will continue to offer state-of-the-art diagnostic imaging services provided in a comfortable and welcoming environment. Physicians choose Summit Radiology because we offer exceptional image and interpretation quality, with the ease of scheduling. Patients choose Summit because we offer convenience and compassionate care.
>> One Bill: When a patient goes to the hospital for an outpatient imaging procedure they will receive two bills; one for the scan and another for the doctor's interpretation. This often results in the patient having to pay two co-pays which means more money out of their pocket. At Summit Radiology we bill both the scan and the interpretation on one bill which means lower costs to the patient. In other words, NO SURPRISES - our lower overhead costs allow us to pass the savings on to our patients.
>> Exclusive Technology: We took great care in choosing the equipment to bring to the Rockford community. The Siemens Espree 1.5T Open Bore MRI is the only one of its kind in the area. This magnet was chosen for the advanced imaging technology, wide, open, 70cm bore, as well as the 550lb table limit. This means an open, comfortable environment for our patients and high quality images for our physicians. Our Siemens Somatom CT offers the latest technology, including advanced 3D imaging capabilities, lower radiation dosage and shortened scan time.
>> Fast, friendly and efficient service: Our on-site radiologists and our exclusive relationship with some of the country's most sought-after sub-specialty radiologists allows us to deliver the interpretation report in 24 hours or less. In addition we accept STAT appointments and can turn reports around quickly when needed. We strive to leave room in our schedule to handle add-ons and flexible scheduling. Insurance issues are made easy: We accept all insurance as “in-network"; we pre-certify; check your benefits; and file your insurance claims. Our patients are our priority - don't wait in line at the hospital while other patients are rushed to the front of the line.
>> Non-clinical environment: We have created a spa-like atmosphere that helps calm and welcome our patients. Warm colors, beautiful appointments, and peaceful surroundings help make the experience less stressful.
