Combination CT Scans Get Mixed Reviews
Gienna Shaw, for HealthLeaders Media, January 11, 2011
Soon after Chedekel’s article was published, The Association of Healthcare Journalists, a professional organization for healthcare reporters, picked up the story. No doubt reporters will be checking CT scan rates at their own local hospitals, too.

I am uninsured and I used this card for discounts on MRI's & CT Scans, blood work and saved a ton of money with the card I printed of their web site. I thought I'd pass this on to anyone in need of this free service. I am more than satisfied. Phil Bryant
