MRI Lincoln Imaging Center

Excellent service and support. Kind staff and great prices. Thank you guys a pleasure being here. I did not pay more than 400 for my mri.

it is weird to review an imaging center and I can only speak to my experience of having a standard 20 week fetal anatomy scan (more pleasant than an MRI, I am sure) but scheduling here was very easy as opposed to the numerous hospitals I contacted who had limited, not-​available-​for-​months scheduling that didn’t account for my or my partner’s schedule. It was a cinch and the women who scheduled me were very kind, called me back to confirm and remind me of some things, etc. Same goes for the ultrasound tech who was lovely and accommodating.
the waiting room has very comfortable chairs and some beautiful plants that I think are real and, if so, impressively lush. There is also beautiful artwork of cherubs on the ceiling.
the best part is that after the appointment is over you can go have dinner at Jibek Jolu, which is right next door. I know for a fact that Northwestern Medical is nowhere NEAR any delicious Kyrgyz options.

If it would have been at all possible I would have given this place 1 star based on my experience of dealing with the billing department.
I had an MRI a couple of months ago and had major issues getting reimbursed after paying as self-​pay. After getting on the phone with my carrier and Marie (from MRI Lincoln), the insurance rep informed Marie all she needed to do was submit the bill and it would have been covered and paid. Having worked as a consultant in the medical field, especially concerning billing, I decided to record the conversation and let both parties know in advance. At the end of the call Marie assured me the bill would be submitted and taken care of.
A few weeks passed so I checked with my carrier to see if the bill had been paid. It was never sent. I got back on the phone with Marie and another rep from my insurance and this time I heard a different story from Marie. She informed me they were not going to submit the bill and that I was out of luck getting reimbursed because she said I didn’t have a referral at the time of my visit. Not only did I have a referral on the day of my appointment, I had a backup from the clinic. In fact, on the day of the visit, the receptionist shredded the referral (a procedure I later found to be necessary. However, they scanned the copy of the referral into the system before shredding).
I decided to contact the director, Hilda Camilia, who investigated what was going on and was able to set the record straight. I was able to get reimbursed within two days.
I don’t like seeing anyone losing their job, but Marie just flat out lied to me and my insurance carrier about everything in my conversation with her on those two separate phone calls. Recording the conversation was key in presenting the information to Hilda so that she could listen to what was being said by Marie. What was also damning for Marie was the copy of the referral was still in the system. I don’t know how she could have not covered herself if she were going to outright lie about it.
Marie. Your fired!

My doctor wanted me to get a chest xray as I had acute bronchial asthma. I went straight from the dr’s office to MRI imaging on ²⁄₁₂ around 4.15p and was informed that the technician was not in and to return the following day and they are open until 5.00p.
I called at 3.30p on ²⁄₁₃ to inform that I will be there at 4.00p for my x — ray and was informed by the receptionist that the technician is leaving at 4.00p and for me to come another day. I was livid with anger and informed her that she should have informed me the previous day about the Technician leaving early and they were not offering efficient service to their patients. The receptionist put me on hold to check with the Technician whether she will be available. I was then informed that the Technician will be available until 5.00p.
I was taken in and got my chest X — ray. Two other people who came after me for x — rays were also taken in. Suffice to say if I had not stood my ground they would not have taken me that day as the technician was leaving early. I am appalled at the way they put the patients last for important services which may be life threatening.

My health insurance policy has a very high deductible, so I pay (out of pocket) for most of my doctor visits, prescription and tests. Because of that, I shop around. Did you know a self pay MRI is only $ 350, while going through the insurance cost 6 times that much.
I’ve gone to MRI Lincoln Imaging Center twice and as of now I will never ever return. And here is why.
STRIKE ONE:
On 12÷22÷14 I had an MRI appointment for my left shoulder. It was scheduled for 2:30p, however, they didn’t get me until 3:20p. In frustration, I almost left, but because of my pain level, I didn’t want to reschedule for another day. So I waited.
An MRI generally take 45 minutes, So the late start made me miss the following doctors appointment. But at least I had a disk with my MRI images.
STRIKE TWO:
The next step was to see my Orthopedic specialist. but because of the holidays the next available appointmnet was on 1÷7÷15. Today was that day, finally needing answers I was anxious hear his prognosis.
The disk with my MRI images was blank!
Had to pay for that wasted trip and reschedule for a week later. I return to MRI Lincoln Imaging Center for a second disk with image. I requested to have them pay for my return Orthopedic appointment. If they do, I will revise my review.
But until they, stay away from this company. As nice as they seem, their level of professionalism is wasteful.

Before my X-​Ray they wanted me to sign a form saying that my claim had been denied and as a result I was in financial hardship/​medical indigence. I understand that they may have only wanted this to help me deal with my insurance company in case my insurance claim was denied, but that doesn’t change the fact that it wasn’t true at the time they wanted me to sign it. The form also said that if I refused to sign it I would be responsible for pursuing and appealing all unpaid claims myself — I was completely fine with not signing it and taking that responsibility, but even when I pointed that out they refused to provide any services without me signing the form.

I went to the lincoln imaging center on belmont because it is closer. I was so blessed by the tech he was such a positive person as he talked to me and continued with the process preventing me from thinking about how afraid. I just stood on the word of God and thank God for such a wonderful positive person

I hate going the doctor! Every time I go complaining about this, that, or the other thing they always send me to the hospital for some long drawn out test. THIS IS WHY I NEVER GO!
However, there was an alarming pain in my abdomen and it wasn’t going away. He sent me to get an MRI and CT scan. (He recommended I go to Northwestern Hospital). I was like HELL NO! Last time I went there I had to wait in the ER for 7 hours. I Googled around for centers and found the Lincoln Imaging Center.
I still hate scans and tests and doctors… but I have to say that my experience at the center was pleasant. I called and was able to get in the next day… it only took 1 hrs for both exams… they had a 24 hr turn around rate for results (I got to take the images home too) and the staff was very friendly.
I found out they have other locations… I recommend there independent centers to anyone having to get tests done.
