Member Education

At NIA, we do more than anyone in the industry to educate and empower consumers so they can make informed decisions about their health care.By educating your consumers about advanced medical imaging procedures, as well as their benefits and risks, we empower them to take an active role in their health care. Here at NIA, this is about more than passive education and lip service.  And that's why we do more than anyone else in the industry to educate and empower consumers.  These tools and resources allow consumers to make informed decisions about their care: 

  • Consumer Portal: With a host of important tools and information about medical imaging benefits and risks, this portal offers members of your plan an easy-to-use resource that seamlessly integrates with your Web site. Users will find information about imaging procedures, radiation awareness, helpful tips on what to expect, important questions to ask, as well as interactive tools. This includes the ability for your consumers to search for an imaging provider using their own customized criteria, including services available and projected out-of-pocket expense, along with location, hours of operation, parking availability, and other convenience-related items.
  • Facility Site Selection Support: Through our Consumer Choice program, we empower your members with support and concierge services to help them make informed decisions in selecting their preferred imaging facility, based on quality, convenience and affordability (including expected out-of-pocket costs).
  • Informational Resources: In an effort to raise consumer awareness about the benefits and risks of advanced imaging procedures, we routinely publish informational resources for consumers, including imaging health, radiation awareness, how to select an imaging facility, and cost and quality guides.

We respect the patient-physician relationship and don't recommend that patients second-guess their physicians in the diagnosis and management of their care. However, we do urge consumers to become more involved in their health care by learning about the reality of today's rapid advances in medical imaging and asking important questions to help guide informed decisions.
