*pricing is an average based on area hospital charges
Here are three things to consider when choosing where to have your medical imaging exam:
Affordability
If you have a high deductible insurance plan, then you know it is important to ask questions about pricing, value and out-of-pocket expenses. Be sure to ask how many bills you will receive. Many hospital-based centers will send two or even three separate bills for technical, professional and facility fees. At Tricounty Radiology, you will receive just one bill that is all-inclusive, with no hidden charges.
We provide all patients with a Good Faith Estimate that includes individual patient details based on your insurance plan and the study being performed. This estimate takes into account your insurance coverage, deductible and copay or coinsurance.
Quality
High-quality imaging is a promise we make to our patients and our referring physicians. We use state-of-the-art equipment that is accredited by the American College of Radiology. Our expert team includes onsite, board-certified, fellowship-trained radiologists and registered technologists.
All radiologists are board certified
All technologists are registered and certified in each of their respective modalities
All imaging equipment is evaluated annually by an independent medical physicist
Convenience
We are network of nine statewide locations offering same-day and next-day appointments, weekend and evening hours to allow for convenient access to our high-quality imaging services. We are not part of a hospital system with complex navigation and large parking decks; we are freestanding facilities and provide easy, front door parking. Your experience with us will be safe and efficient with minimal waiting and no worries about being rescheduled in order to accommodate urgent or ER cases.

Pricing
Shopping for healthcare will save you money

Reviews
Jul 1, 2021My experience at TriCounty gets a 5 star review. The staff was friendly and professional from the moment I booked my appointment to the moment I checked out. They were diligent with my famously difficult insurance provider and got me approved right away. My biggest take away however was how comfortable and calm the technician made me feel during the MRI process, as I am rather claustrophobic . Highly recommend!
Jun 24, 2021I was sent here by Premier Medical (Angela Peterson) for an X-Ray. The staff here was very kind and professional. They worked quickly to get me back for my x-ray and back over to have my images read. Thank you all for the great visit.
Feb 24, 2021Over the past several years I have had CAT scans, MRI’s, tests for carotid arteries, etc. done at this facility. They are always very efficient & helpful from the time your appointment is scheduled, RIGHT THRU, the procedure itself. EVERYONE you deal with is competent, courteous & willing to answer all your questions and/or concerns. This is the only place I go to for these type of procedures. I HIGHLY recommend them to others. Thus the 5 Star rating!
Jul 2, 2020Came here for a MRI, Mary was super comforting before my exam, offered a cover and the choice of music I wanted to listen to (despite it being so low, but! still pretty cool to listen to music while getting it done😊💙)...Receptionists were very kind, place is ve re y clean I enjoyed my experience 💕
Jun 25, 2020Very friendly and professional! Michelle did a very thorough ultrasound! All of the staff went above and beyond my expectations!
Mar 17, 2020The staff are very kind and warm, especially to those who are anxious about MRIs. One staff member at the front desk worked with me and was incredibly sweet. I would recommend this place to anyone.
Feb 17, 2020This is conveniently located.. The staff has always been friendly. And the business itself uses up to date 2020 check in process. All of your paperwork is done via iPad. It’s quick and easy to follow. The waiting room is bright with lots of windows. When you go back it’s clean and comfortable. I have had ultrasounds, CT’s, and MRIs done with and without contrast on multiple occasions over the past 5 years. This is a location that I will continue to use. I hope their customer service stays as it is.
Feb 12, 2020Very friendly staff. I don't particularly care for having to go see doctors but it was simple and straightforward.
Feb 3, 2020They took good care of me I guess but at $400 a visit (not including what the insurance company paid) they should at least have two ply in the crapper.
Dec 4, 2019Major shout out to everyone at the west Ashley location but especially Stan, the tech that took care of me. When I came in for a brain scan I was very scared and in a state of absolute panic. Everyone was so kind to me but my technician Stan went above and beyond to calm me down. This is first class service and I am beyond thankful for everyone’s kindness during a very scary moment. Good news is I don’t have a brain tumor! The facility is as nice as an imaging center can be, nothing to write home about but the people are what make it great.
Jan 29, 2019Great place. Norma at the North Charleston location was great at getting me a quick appointment for the west Ashley office. Both front desk receptionists at the west Ashley office were wonderful as well, as I had forgotten some paperwork they were able to find what I needed. And lastly, Stan the radiology tech, was awesome and personable. Great care all around.
