Weill Cornell Imaging At New York Presbyterian

We went once again to the imaging office for my wife to get a scan as ordered by the doctor. The check in was very easy and today she was called in for the scan after only a short wait. About 15 minutes after her appointment. The scan only took about 30 minutes start to walking out the door. An easy day.

I am rating this facility two stars, as the staff I encountered (radiology techs) were really kind and thoughtful. However, WCM charges abhorrently high rates for radiology. They do offer financial assistance which I need, however after the assistance I am left paying the same net total across all exams that I would have paid anywhere else without assistance (and without the embarrassing ordeal of having to make pleading phone calls several times per procedure). Their x-rate rates are hundreds above other hospitals and clinics and MRIs are THOUSANDS above. I have been to 5 hospital networks in the NYC area and the pricing here is consistently absurd. I utilize this hospital as I have had complicated health issues that the doctors elsewhere have failed to identify and treat, but it is really depressing that patients have to choose between quality care for critical non elective procedures/testing, and paying rent.
