Yes, you can pay your bill over phone using our 24/7 automated line at (910) 763-1800 option 8. We accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express, and Care Credit. You may also mail in your credit card information for payment.

We will be happy to help you set up a monthly payment plan.

We offer a discount for all self pay patients (or all patients with no insurance) if paid during the first statement period.

The hospital billed you for their part of their services including the use of their equipment (technical component) and Delaney Radiologists billed you for the radiologist’s reading of the x-ray or for performance of a procedure (professional component).

Each time a physician sees or provides a service to you, it is considered a separate occurrence, and a separate bill is generated for each occurrence.

Sites that you MIGHT get a bill from us for providing professional interpretation services include:

• Carolina Arthritis
• Dosher Memorial Hospital
• Insight Imaging
• New Hanover Health Network – including the hospital, ERs and health & diagnostic centers
• New Hanover Medical Group
• Novant Health Brunswick Medical Center

It is possible that we did not have your correct address. If you were a patient at the hospital, we would have received the address that the hospital has for you in their information system. That information is provided to Delaney Radiology via an electronic data transfer. If the hospital has incorrect information about you, we too will have incorrect information about you. Delaney Radiology sends two billing statements, and then a final notice to all patient accounts. In addition, multiple telephone contacts are attempted. In the case of no response, or returned mail, we have no recourse other than sending the account to collections.

A refund check will be issued to you, or we can credit your credit card account if you desire.

Refunds are issued twice a month. It usually takes about 30 days from the date that we receive the overpayment until the check is issued and mailed.

Many insurance companies do not subrogate, therefore any overpayments would be issued directly to the patient. If the insurance company subrogates, the overpayment would be issued to the insurance company.

Yes, once every twelve months.

We can bill for a screening mammogram only if you are not having any symptoms.

Medicare will pay for a bone density exam only once every two years, and only if it is a covered diagnosis.
