This is a profitable medical imaging company that performs MRI scans, CT scans (CAT scans), ultrasounds, and X-rays. All the customers come from physician referrals, since patients need a written request from a physician to get a scan performed. Once the scan is done, the images are sent online to an off-site radiologist, who interprets the images, creates a report, and sends it along with the images back to the referring physician. The radiologist is a subcontractor under contract, and performs quality assurance and compliance in addition to interpreting the images and writing the report. Having an off-site radiologist is typical in the industry as there is a shortage of radiologists.
It is extremely difficult for new entrants to enter this industry. One cannot submit claims to the insurance companies for reimbursement unless one has existing contracts with the insurance companies, and it is next to impossible for a new owner to obtain these contracts. Therefore, the ideal buyer for this business is a radiologist or radiologist group that already has these contracts with the insurance companies in Washington State, or an entrepreneur who partners with radiologists that have these contracts.
