Teleradiology pricing: one rate per signed report. SLA terms in writing.
You pay for each report we sign, priced by modality and complexity tier. No platform fees, no minimums, no ceilings. The model holds from a single clinic to a hospital system, and the terms arrive in writing before you send a study.
Request a volume quoteHow our teleradiology pricing works, in four rules.
Pay per report
One price per signed report. No subscriptions, no seats, no platform fee, no onboarding charge. If we do not sign a report, you do not pay.
Priced by modality and complexity
A chest X-ray and a cardiac MRI are different work, and they are priced differently. Twelve study types, each with its own per-report rate on your card.
Priority carries a multiplier
STAT and urgent submissions apply a fixed multiplier to the base rate. It is printed on your rate card, applied automatically, and visible on every invoice line.
No minimums, no ceilings
Send one study a month or ten thousand. Committed monthly volume earns a volume discount schedule set out in writing on your rate card, clinical spikes carry no surge premium, and no contract of ours caps your volume.
Reading for a hospital system or an imaging network? Committed volume moves you onto a volume discount schedule set out in writing on your rate card, and the service scales with it: a named clinical liaison, a named operations contact, and a quarterly review with your turnaround data on the table. Our panel signs 600,000 reports a year and holds room for 25,000 additional studies a month today, with no waitlist.
Request a volume quoteTeleradiology pricing by study type and turnaround tier.
All twelve study types in the catalog, each with the tier it defaults to and one promise attached. Your facility sets the tier on each study at submission, so the column below is a starting point rather than an assignment. STAT and urgent submissions carry a priority multiplier on the base rate, and your rate card spells both out.
No per-report rates appear on this website, and the reason is arithmetic rather than secrecy: a price depends on your modality mix, your monthly volume, and how much of that volume arrives STAT, so a single published number would be wrong for almost every reader of this page. What arrives instead is a rate card, sent within one business day of a request: one page carrying a price for each of the twelve study types below, the fixed priority multipliers for STAT and Urgent submissions, and a volume discount schedule set out in writing. Nothing on it is quoted verbally, and nothing changes after you sign. For market context in the meantime, our guide to teleradiology cost collects industry-typical per-read ranges from published rate sheets and market surveys and benchmarks them against the CMS Physician Fee Schedule. Those are industry figures, not ours.
| Study type | Code | Most common tier | Per-report price |
|---|---|---|---|
| CR X-ray | CR | Routine < 24h | On your rate card |
| Mammography | MG | Routine < 24h | On your rate card |
| Ultrasound | US | Routine < 24h | On your rate card |
| CT single region | CT | STAT < 1h | On your rate card |
| CT double, abdomen + pelvis | CT | Urgent < 4h | On your rate card |
| CT special studies | CT | Routine < 24h | On your rate card |
| CT coronary angiography | CTA | Routine < 24h | On your rate card |
| MRI single part | MR | Routine < 24h | On your rate card |
| Advanced MRI | MR | Routine < 24h | On your rate card |
| Cardiac MRI | MR | Routine < 24h | On your rate card |
| Nuclear medicine, gamma | NM | Routine < 24h | On your rate card |
| PET-CT | PT | Routine < 24h | On your rate card |
Tiers shown are the one most facilities pick for that study type, not an assignment. Your facility chooses the tier on each study at submission, and that tier sets the commitment; the clock runs from last-image arrival to radiologist signature. Any study may be sent STAT, urgent, or routine whatever its row says. The SLA page sets out what each tier commits to and how compliance is measured.
Measured performance: 30 min median STAT turnaround · 99.4% of reports inside their SLA tier, trailing 12 months · SLA terms in writing in every contract.
The model is the same whatever you run, but the volume mix and the credentialing work are not. The same per-report rate card written up from the side of hospitals, imaging centers and private radiology groups. Every figure quoted on this page is defined, dated and given its measurement method on our facts and figures page.
Month to month. Nothing to lock into.
Per-report pricing only works if you can stop. AstraRad bills for signed reports on month-to-month terms: no annual contract, no monthly minimum, no auto-renewal into a longer term, and 30 days notice to end it. The terms are the same for a single clinic and for a hospital system.
Month to month, by default
The agreement runs month to month. No annual term, no multi-year term, and no signature on a longer commitment to unlock the per-report rate. Start with one modality or one shift and widen it when the reports earn it.
It continues, it does not auto-renew
Service simply continues month to month. There is no evergreen clause that rolls you into a fresh 12 month term, no renewal date to diary, and no window you have to hit to avoid being locked in for another year.
30 days written notice to stop
Give 30 days written notice and reading stops at the end of that period. No termination fee, no early exit penalty, no charge for volume you committed to and did not send. You pay for the reports we signed, and nothing after them.
Discounts are optional, not a lock-in
Committed monthly volume earns a volume discount schedule set out in writing on your rate card if you want it. The commitment is optional: decline it and the model, the SLA tiers, and the panel are identical, only the per-report rate is the list rate.
- Monthly minimum study count or minimum spend
- Platform, portal, or software license fee
- Per-seat or per-user charges for your team
- Onboarding, implementation, or DICOM integration fees
- Surge premium when clinical volume spikes
- Termination, early exit, or unused-commitment fees
Pricing questions, answered.
How do we send studies?
Route DICOM directly from your PACS, or upload through the client portal with drag and drop. Studies are encrypted in transit and at rest, and each image is integrity-hashed on arrival. There is no integration project required to start.
Who reads and signs my studies?
Board-certified subspecialists, matched to each study by modality and body part from a panel of 240. The signing radiologist’s name and credentials are on every report.
What are the turnaround commitments?
STAT under 1 hour, urgent under 4 hours, routine under 24 hours, measured from last-image arrival to radiologist signature. Our measured median STAT turnaround is 30 minutes. Priority is chosen per study at submission, and the SLA clock is visible in the portal for every study you send.
Can you absorb our whole system’s volume?
Yes. The panel signs 600,000 reports a year and holds headroom for 25,000 additional studies a month today, with no waitlist. Volume never changes the model; it only moves you onto a volume discount schedule set out in writing on your rate card.
What does the report look like?
A structured diagnostic report: clinical history, technique, comparison, findings, and impression, signed with the radiologist’s name and credentials. Delivered in the portal, back to your PACS, and printable to a clean letter format.
How is our data protected?
AstraRad operates as a HIPAA business associate under a signed BAA, and for EU imaging as a processor under a signed DPA rather than a controller. The controls are built to the HIPAA Security Rule safeguard categories: TLS in transit and encryption at rest, role-scoped access per facility, and an append-only audit log of every action taken on a study.
Does AstraRad require a contract or monthly minimum?
No. AstraRad bills per signed report on month-to-month terms: no annual or multi-year contract, no monthly minimum study count, no minimum spend, no platform or software fee, no per-seat charge, and no onboarding or integration fee. Service continues month to month rather than auto-renewing into a longer term, so there is no evergreen clause and no renewal window to catch. Either side can end it with 30 days written notice, with no termination fee and no charge for unused committed volume. Committed volume earns a volume discount schedule set out in writing on your rate card if you want it, but committing is optional and the terms above do not change without it.
How does billing work?
Monthly invoicing itemized per report, or a prepaid wallet your studies draw down against, whichever suits your finance team. Every line shows the study, the tier, and the multiplier applied. Volume discounts apply automatically once committed.
