Value-Based Imaging

Just as value-based care is designed to maximize value for the patient, Value-Based Imaging is designed to maximize value for our clients — by aligning the cost of imaging infrastructure to the economic reality of how healthcare providers actually operate.

Equation
Quality + Cost = Value

For the client. For the patient. That is Value-Based Imaging.

Definition

What it means

A commercial model built around how imaging providers work.

Legacy imaging vendors were built for a procurement cycle that required large upfront capital, rigid long-term contracts, and hardware that depreciated before the next refresh. AdvaHealth was built differently.

By providing radiologists with specific tools and direct access, AdvaHealth helps providers deliver higher quality at a lower cost to the healthcare system — delivering value to the ultimate client: the patient.

The Three Principles

How Value-Based Imaging works in practice.

01

Modality-Based Pricing

Pay for modalities connected — not per seat or per user. Consistent with Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services reimbursement rates and physician compensation models, this gives clients a dynamic, activity-aligned cost structure.

Dynamic Cost Control
02

Pay-As-You-Go

No large upfront commitments. Costs align to clinical activity, allowing organizations with limited capital—or hospitals currently bound by restrictive legacy contracts—to access modern imaging infrastructure without a capital expenditure barrier.

Cashflow Control
03

Decoupled Infrastructure

Infrastructure, software, and services costs are always clear and separate. No bundled fees, no hidden charges. Clients know exactly what they are paying for and why — because trust is built through data and transparency.

Pricing Transparency
Outcomes

What clients gain

Three outcomes every imaging provider deserves. Value-Based Imaging is not a feature set. It is the commercial framework that makes these outcomes possible for every organization AdvaHealth works with.

Dynamic Cost Control

Costs map directly to usage as organizations operate — eliminating surprise infrastructure fees or rigid licensing spikes.

Cashflow Control

Pay-as-you-go and modality-based models give clients control over when and how costs are incurred.

Pricing Transparency

Infrastructure, software, and services costs are clearly separated so clients understand exactly what they are paying for.

The Parallel That Matters

Designed the same way value-based care was.

Value-based care realigned healthcare reimbursement around patient outcomes, not activity volume. Value-Based Imaging applies the same logic to imaging infrastructure — aligning commercial terms to the value delivered, not the capacity consumed.

Value-Based Care

  • Maximizes value for the patient
  • Aligned to clinical outcomes, not fee-for-service volume

Value-Based Imaging

  • Maximizes value for the client
  • Aligned to modalities connected, not seat counts
