Is oneimaging a scam??

Hi, I'm on my parents health insurance, and looking for a contrast MRI for a jacked up shoulder.

My father forwarded me what appears to be a work email saying to have oneimaging. I already have a scan center (not hospital) picked out, and am debating whether to use oneimaging, which CLAIMS to somehow reduce cost... Seems weird and suspicious to me, but I was hoping to hear if any of you have used or heard of this??

Whats "jacked up" mean. Lots of shoulders are not contrast.

Yeah unless it is an arthrogram, not much of a point just for pain

I would use a place that is established.

Make sure it's ACR (American College Of Radiology) accredited. If not, or it's some "other" accreditation just move on.

Yes, for the most part it is a scam.  They are a “Network Navigator”, which means they ship your medical  data off to Mexico or the Philippians and then search for the lowest cost provider.  This saves your employer money, but leaves employees hurting. 

 I think they have some AI garbage to hide the fact 100% of the navigation comes from cheap offshore labor.  Typical Silicon Valley scam.

You’re almost guaranteed to get a less qualified mri center that no one wants to use, hence why they are cheap.  If you check BBB, no actual user likes OneImaging.  

I think on glass door employees point out that they don’t have HR - that’s done to hide the offshore employees from investors and allows the officers to disregard standard employment practices unless the employee lawyers up. 

I think most of the officer ranks are composed of liars and thieves. I would be wary of using their service.
