Services
Washington Managed Imaging (WMI) is an Independent Practice Association that was created in 1993 by radiologists for radiologists. The Association achieves clinical and economic efficiencies through streamlined management, group purchasing, and evidence-based medicine initiatives and enables efficient contracting between the radiology members and the payer community.
Due to the broad experience and expertise of Washington Managed Imaging (WMI), there are many benefits to membership. Payer Contracting and Payer Relations - Utilizing a reverse messenger model structure, WMI negotiates rates and contract language with each payer on behalf of its members. Each WMI member is then presented the agreement and via a ballot approach, decides whether to participate.
Efficient Contracting - Through a single contracting process, payers can add over 300 radiologists that provide geographic coverage throughout most of Washington State. This single contracting process provides access to numerous high quality, low cost freestanding radiology facilities. Additionally, it provides access to many of the best Radiologists in Washington State that cover most of the major hospitals in Washington. This approach expedites contracting and reduces cost associated with physician contracting.
WMI physicians work with each other and their referring colleagues to apply best practice guidelines. Boasting a network of over 300 radiologists, with their own subspecialties and areas of expertise, WMI physician members access an impressive knowledge base to ensure that patients receive imaging care of the highest medical utility.
