that sounds like an insane price for a ct scan although it's canadian dollars which is 682 in usd. idk if they're overcharging me unjustly or something what do y'all think

Why does my Pagnoni referral say "not cone beam CT?" Are you not getting implants?

i am. it says so in the referral. but where i live you have to have a medical reason to get that one i think. supposedly it causes too much radiation to be given out freely
 
Yeah that’s crazy I didn’t even pay 300 dollars for 3d imaging

was it a high-resolution full skull 3d scan showing soft tissue?

There were the skin layers, the soft tissue layers, then the bone so yeah.
But I used a free dicom viewer to view them so idk if I could extract all of the info on it properly. I just extracted the images from the disc and sent the files to the surgeon

Look and see if they’re any private hospitals near you that do ct scans, but I live in the south so everything’s inexpensive here compared to the coasts. Another insurance based hospital here quoted $800 for it

im also in a shit tier state RN so it should be cheaper. Whats a private hospital tho, as opposed to an "insurance based" one ?

Physician owned hospital would technically be the correct terminology

Idk why I said private vs insurance I’m tired

Nah it’s physician owned, I’m just retarded and sleep deprived, imaging is still usually cheaper

you can also check local imaging places, those are usually cheaper than regular hosptials

Dude, the actual big hospitals here don't even do this shit. Are they just retarded and are getting thrown off by the "3D" part or is the US really third world?

jeez that’s fucking costly, but to be clear this was a scan for your face right?
 
Scammed
 
Okay, so I think the way Pagnoni worded the scan order might be throwing a lot of these places off. I think a "3D CT scan" is something different, or they're just not used that wording and think it's something different. I think you just need a regular CT scan and then a 3D model will be reconstructed.

I think you are right. One imaging place near me responded and said "I AM SORRY TO INFORM YOU, THAT WE DO NOT PERFORM THIS TYPE OF CT PROCEDURES (3D DIGITAL)."

But I can't imagine they would be unable to perform this?

Its just one layer of bullshit after another

I'm afraid to improvise my request though because god knows I'll get the wrong thing and expose myself to needless radiation and waste a couple hunddred dollars

Literally everyone means something different when they say ct or cbct scan and its making my brain melt

Yeah, a woman I spoke to was like "we don't do 3D."

Anyway, assuming this is the issue, regular CT scan is like $250 at all the independent radiology places around me.

just booked one for $300, says it matches the referral

so many orthos giving me shit about the dental impressions scan, they're all like "thats something we do if you're already pursuing treatment with us" but they just can't seem to understand the scans are immediately needed not for braces but for surgical planning, and that I am moving soon and have no intention of getting braces through them

I still can't find a place. Turns out 3D wasn't the problem and these places all just suck shit.

I don't know why they wouldn't just give you a dental scan. It takes like a minute and the tech does it with a little handheld device. It's because subconsciously they're all a bunch of religious apes who think they're going to incite the wrath of an angry god if they don't observe the proper way of doing things.

Holy shit one was giving me such an attiutude about my referral not being for their exact office and acting like I was getting a dental scan “Just because”

Like she said “we cant give you a scan just because” because i was inquiring about the possibility of getting a scan without having a consultation or an exam lol

Anyway i managed to find one for 100 dollars

Why are all medical assistants always seething mtbs? Like you go on all their websites its always a pic of the ortho with a row of angry mtbs who have this dual personality of being people pleasers but also subtly angry
