Hospital-based imaging is convenient – you walk down the hall and get your scan done. But then the bill arrives weeks later and you owe $2,000 out of pocket.
This is exactly why employees delay or skip imaging they need. They simply cannot afford it.
Here is what most employers do not realize:
Your health plan is probably paying $3,000 to $5,000 for MRIs that cost under $1,000 elsewhere. Hospital imaging is one of the most overpriced services in healthcare. You are likely paying 3x to 5x Medicare rates without even knowing it.
Your employees are paying thousands out of pocket, so they delay care. That delay turns into bigger health problems and higher claims down the road.
There is a better option
We just launched an imaging network exclusive to DSG Benefits Group clients. Thirty facilities across Texas – Houston, Dallas, El Paso, Corpus Christi, Beaumont.
When your employees use these facilities, they pay $0. Your health plan pays 145% of Medicare with no markups. The cost is half what you would pay through traditional insurance.
Real numbers:
- Hospital MRI: $4,000
- Our network: $800
- Employee cost: $0
What this means for your business
Lower claims. Imaging that costs $4,000 at a hospital costs $800 through our network. Lower claims can reduce your stop-loss premiums and improve your renewals.
Predictable pricing. You finally know exactly what each service costs. No surprise bills. No hidden markups. Just clean pricing tied to Medicare.
Employees get care when they need it. Zero cost removes the financial barrier. Earlier diagnosis means better outcomes and prevents bigger claims later.
Who this is built for
Self-funded employers in Texas with Texas-based employees. 100+ lives, especially 250+. Employers who are tired of rising claims but not ready to blow up their entire plan.
This can be added at renewal or mid-year. No plan redesign required.
Why this solution is different
Solutions like this require deep self-funding expertise and significant time investment to build. We created this network specifically for our clients because we focus on self-funded strategies that directly reduce claims and improve employee experience.
