ScanReady: imaging authorization rescue board for outpatient MRI and CT centers

Idea Overview

TLDR

Source section: TLDR
01

ProblemImaging teams still lose scans after the order is placed. AMA says 95% of physicians see care delays from prior auth and 40% employ staff just for PA, while UnitedHealthcare can deny CT, MRI, MRA, and PET claims if authorization is not verified before scheduling.

02

SolutionScanReady watches the post-order exception queue for outpatient imaging centers, finds missing notes, wrong modality requests, payer-specific rules, and expiring approvals, then assembles payer-ready packets and tells staff which cases can be booked now versus rescued first.

03

Market opportunityU.S. imaging services were a $104.25B market in 2025 per Grand View Research, with more than 15,000 imaging centers tracked by Definitive Healthcare and a $26B freestanding-center segment noted by a 2025 industry report. Clinics already pay for RIS plus manual PA labor, so a narrow add-on can sell fast.
