We bill your insurance for the cost of x-rays. We typically only charge for the cost of doing the x-ray. We contract with off-site radiology experts to review all x-rays performed at Brave Care. These third-party experts will submit the cost of the review to your insurance company, which might result in additional fees.

We perform common x-ray procedures on site.

What types of imaging can Brave Care perform on-site?

Your health care provider will review all x-rays instantly and provide you with an initial diagnosis. Reviews completed by our contracted radiology experts are typically available within 24 hours, except for x-rays reviewed after 4:00 PM Pacific Time on Fridays, which will be available by Monday afternoon.  We have experts we communicate with regularly if an urgent x-ray review is necessary.
