Economic Benefits of BSGI

Breast-Specific Gamma Imaging/Molecular Breast Imaging (BSGI/MBI) procedures can provide an additional revenue opportunity for your practice. Here is why:
  • Additional space is not necessary, so it is easy to incorporate into a practice with minimal cost beyond the equipment.
  • Billing codes have been established for nuclear breast imaging and payers have established policies for reimbursement.

Economic Benefits

The economic benefits of the Dilon 6800® are varied and meet a variety of clinical and administrative requirements including:
  • Lower capital investment than other imaging equipment
  • Fast, simple equipment installation
  • Relatively low post-warranty service contract pricing
  • Portability for ‘point-of-care’ clinical utilization
  • Approved for general purpose nuclear medicine applications (e.g., thyroid, spot bone, etc.)
  • Ideal for patients that cannot comply with an MRI such as those who are claustrophobic, obese, or have compromised renal function
  • Insurance reimbursement is attained through standard nuclear medicine CPT codes
  • Enables facilities without breast MR capabilities to maintain patient control with equal or better clinical information
