Teleradiology Service Rates for sending over 500 studies/week:


- X-ray: $15 per exam
- CT: $60 per exam
- Ultrasound: $40 per exam

Conversion to Monthly Figures:


We collected average daily numbers for each modality

Before teleradiology (per day) After Teleradiology (per day)

Ultrasound 25 60

X-ray 20 20

CT 15 25

Interventional 5 20

Monthly calculations were made by multiplying the daily figures by 22 working days per month.

Calculate monthly revenue for each modality by


Daily number of each modality x Medicare rebate rate x 22 days

Before Teleradiology:
- Ultrasound: 25 exams/day * $100 * 22 days = $55,000
- X-ray: 20 exams/day * $40 * 22 days = $17,600
- CT: 15 exams/day * $200 * 22 days = $66,000
- Interventional: 5 exams/day * $300 * 22 days = $33,000

After Teleradiology:
- Ultrasound: 60 exams/day * $100 * 22 days = $132,000

- X-ray: 20 exams/day * $40 * 22 days = $17,600


- CT: 25 exams/day * $200 * 22 days = $110,000
- Interventional: 20 exams/day * $300 * 22 days = $132,000

Operational Cost:
- Base: $100,000
- Additional sonographers: $450/day * 22 days = $9,900
- Teleradiology Service: (60US * $40 + 20XR * $15 + 25CT * $60)* 22days = $92,400
