Why Should You Be a Radiologist at NRAD?

As a radiologist, your expertise is vital to the medical industry. At NRAD, we don’t take that fact lightly and have created a unique work environment in which we have maintained a near 0% turnover rate over the previous five years among our radiologists. Here are a few reasons why:

Onsite and Remote Opportunities in Radiology

NRAD is a hybrid teleradiology company providing remote reading and onsite physicians to clients with unique needs. Working with us, you can work from your home, office, or onsite in an outpatient facility.

Administrative Work is Done for You

Whether onsite or remote, NRAD has an entire clinical staff that handles the administrative work before you receive a study. As a result, your time is now more efficient – to provide high-quality reports that will positively impact your income goals. Then, when the study reaches your worklist, a staff member has already set up some elements of the report, ensuring all prior exams are available. All that remains is the interpretation and submission.

NRAD has clients in many states – collectively, NRAD physicians are licensed in over 30 states. We receive studies from all modalities and almost every study group. To ensure each radiologist reads exams within their state licensure and specialty, we have a member of our operations team flag every study to each radiologist’s list. This way, each radiologist has a fair mix of modalities/study groups and does not have to spend time choosing studies to read. Your list will be ready with your studies when you begin your shift – again.

In-house IT, Workstation, and Credentialing

Each NRAD radiologist is provided a workstation and receives support from NRAD’s own in-house IT department. In addition, NRAD radiologists are supported by our own Credentialing department, which, again, provides more physician resources for patient care and less on administration.

Insurance and Payment Options

Our radiologists can choose to be W2 employees or 1099, with or without benefits. In addition, medical malpractice and full tail coverage are paid for all radiologists.

Testimonial from an NRAD Radiologist

Dr. Acosta: “I think you have an invaluable system for Rads. To have support in providing results ASAP from all your staff is INVALUABLE. I have never worked anywhere else where I have not had to spend hours trying to contact clinicians.”

Now that you know a little about what working with us would look like, what questions do you have? Are you interested in becoming a part of the NRAD team? Schedule a conversation – As a physician candidate, we welcome you to “test drive” NRAD. Experience for yourself the care we provide to every NRAD physician.
