An MRI without the runaround.
Ripe connects you with accredited imaging centers at one upfront price and gets you the best deal available.
Same scan. Very different bill.
The same MRI can cost two or three times more at a hospital, sometimes far more. Most people only find out when the bill arrives.
Ripe shows you the all-in cash price before you book, so you know exactly what you'll pay.
How it works
Tell us what's going on
Share what needs scanning and your ZIP code. It takes about five minutes.
Get matched
See upfront cash prices at accredited centers near you and pick the one that fits. No order yet? A licensed partner clinician can review your case.
Get scanned, get answers
The center performs your scan. You get your images, your report, and a plain-language explanation of what it means.
What we're building so you know before you book
How soon you can be scanned
Paying cash skips the wait for insurance approval. We'll show you the next open appointment before you book.
The machine, and who reads your scan
We'll show the magnet strength, the accreditation, and whether a specialist radiologist reads your images.
One price for the whole visit
The scan and the radiologist's read in one number, shown upfront. No separate bill weeks later.
What happens after
Your images on your phone, ready to share with any doctor, and a plain-language walkthrough of your report.
For clinicians and practices
Send your patients one link.
When imaging stalls on insurance, Ripe gives your patients one link, one price, and a scan at an accredited center near them.
Talk to us about referralsQuestions
Is Ripe insurance?
No. Ripe is a booking service for cash-pay imaging. You pay one upfront price, and there's no insurance claim to file.
Does Ripe perform the scan?
No. Scans are performed and read by independent, accredited imaging centers and licensed radiologists. Ripe helps you find, compare, and book them.
Do I need a doctor's order?
No, not to get started. If the state you're in requires one, Ripe will help you get it through a licensed partner clinician.
Will paying cash count toward my deductible?
Often not. It depends on your plan, so check with your insurer if that matters to you.
