In this article, I’ll walk you through the different ways you can pay your Southern Radiology Associates bill online, over the phone, by mail, or in person.

Online Bill Pay

The easiest way to pay your Southern Radiology Associates bill is online through their secure patient portal.

To pay online

• Go to southernradiology.com and click on “Pay Bill” at the top of the page. This will take you to the payment portal.

• If it’s your first time using the portal, you’ll need to create an account. Have your account number handy to link your profile to your account.

• Once logged in, you can view your account balance and recent bills. Click on the bill you want to pay.

• Enter your credit card or bank account information to make a one-time payment. You can also set up recurring payments if you undergo frequent imaging tests.

• The payment will process instantly. You’ll receive a confirmation email with your receipt.

Paying online is the fastest way to settle your bill with Southern Radiology Associates. You can pay at any time of day, without having to call or visit an office.

Pay by Phone

If you prefer to speak to someone directly, you can pay your Southern Radiology Associates bill over the phone.

To pay by phone:

• Call 1-844-295-4871. This is the central billing office for all Southern Radiology locations.

• Specify that you’re calling to make a payment. You’ll be transferred to the billing department.

• Have your account number ready to pull up your bill details.

• The representative will take your credit card information and process the payment.

• Make sure to get a confirmation number when the payment goes through.

Paying by phone is convenient if you have questions about your bill or want to confirm your balance. However, hold times can be long during peak hours.

Pay by Mail

To pay your bill by check or money order via mail:

• Write your account number on the check or money order so your payment gets applied properly.

• Include your payment stub from your bill if you have it.

• Make checks payable to Southern Radiology Associates.

• Mail your payment to:

  Southern Radiology Associates
  Attn: Billing Department
  1224 Trotwood Ave
  Columbia, TN 38401

• Allow 7-10 business days for your mailed payment to process. Payments without an account number may experience delays.

Mailing a check gives you a paper trail, but it’s one of the slowest ways to pay. Be sure to mail your payment several days before the due date.

In-Person Bill Pay

You can also pay your Southern Radiology Associates bill in person at one of their imaging centers.

To pay in person:

• Bring your bill or billing statement. Having your account number will speed up the process.

• Have your payment ready. Accepted forms are cash, check, credit/debit cards.

• Visit the check-in desk and let the receptionist know you’re there to make a payment.

• You’ll receive a printed receipt confirming your payment.

Paying in person allows you to take care of your bill while you’re at Southern Radiology for an appointment. However, locations may not be able to accept cash payments, so call ahead.

Payment Plan Options

If you’re unable to pay your full balance, Southern Radiology Associates offers payment plans to split your costs over time.

To set up a payment plan:

• Call 1-844-295-4871 to speak with a billing representative.

• They will review your account and help establish a monthly payment schedule that fits your budget.

• Payment plans may include no-interest financing if you qualify.

• There is no fee to set up a payment plan with Southern Radiology Associates.

Payment plans make expensive imaging tests more affordable by dividing payments over several months. Ask about this option if you need help managing large bills.

Financial Assistance Programs

Southern Radiology Associates accepts most major insurance plans. They also offer financial assistance programs for uninsured or underinsured patients:

• Hardship discounts – If paying your bill would be a financial hardship, you may qualify for a percentage discount based on your income.

• Charity care – If your income falls below 200% of federal poverty guidelines, your care may be covered under Southern Radiology’s charity care program.

To find out if you qualify for medical financial assistance, request an application from the billing office. These programs can significantly reduce or eliminate your out-of-pocket costs for eligible imaging services.

Avoid Late Fees and Collections

To avoid late fees and collections, be sure to pay your Southern Radiology Associates bill by the due date printed on your statement. Bills are due upon receipt unless you have a prior payment arrangement.

If your account becomes past due:

• You may be charged a late fee, usually $10-$25 based on your balance.

• Accounts over 90 days past due may be forwarded to a collections agency. This can negatively impact your credit score.

• You may be unable to schedule new appointments until your balance is paid.

Stay on top of your bills and pay on time to avoid penalties. If you anticipate issues paying on time, call to set up a payment plan.

Paying your Southern Radiology Associates bill quickly keeps your account in good standing. With options to pay online, by phone, mail or in person, finding a payment method that works for your schedule is easy. Reach out to the billing office if you need help managing a large bill or understanding your statement.
