No. OIA seeks only what we consider to be a “meaningful” ownership interest – the amount of which can be dependent on many factors. However, if the parameters of the situation warrant, OIA will certainly accept a minority interest in the venture.

Hey there! So you’re looking to figure out how to pay your radiology bill from OIA or Radiology Ltd? I’ve been there – medical bills can be confusing especially when you’re trying to figure out which company is handling your imaging services and where to send your payment. Let me break this down for you in simple terms.
Understanding the Difference: OIA vs. Radiology Ltd.
First, let’s clear up some confusion. OIA (Outpatient Imaging Affiliates) and Radiology Ltd. are actually different companies:
- OIA is a national operator of outpatient imaging centers that partners with healthcare providers
- Radiology Ltd. is a specific radiology practice with multiple locations in Arizona
If you received a bill, check the letterhead carefully to see which company you need to pay.
Paying Your Radiology Ltd. Bill
If your bill is from Radiology Ltd (the Arizona-based practice), you’ve got several options for payment
Online Bill Pay Through MyRad Portal
The easiest way to pay your Radiology Ltd. bill is through their patient portal called “MyRad”
Here’s how to do it:
- Visit the Radiology Ltd. website
- Look for the “Online Bill Pay” option or “Patient Portal” section
- Log into your MyRad account (or create one if you haven’t already)
- Access the bill pay section and follow the prompts
The MyRad portal gives you a bunch of other benefits too:
- View your previous exam history
- Pre-register for upcoming appointments
- Update your personal info
- Create appointment reminders
- Pay your bills securely online
And don’t worry – there’s no fee for using MyRad. It’s a free service for Radiology Ltd. patients.

Paying Your OIA Bill
If your bill is from OIA (Outpatient Imaging Affiliates), the process is a bit different:
- Visit the OIA website
- Look for billing options in their resources section
- You might need to contact them directly at 615.550.6000 for specific payment instructions
OIA manages imaging centers in over 50 communities nationwide, and they partner with different healthcare providers. This means their billing procedures may vary depending on which specific imaging center you visited.
Other Ways to Pay Your Radiology Bill
Not comfortable with online payments? No worries, you usually have other options:
By Phone
Call the number on your bill statement directly. For Radiology Ltd., that’s (520) 733-7226.
By Mail
Send a check to the address listed on your bill. Make sure to include your account number on the check.
In Person
Visit the imaging center where you received your service and pay at the front desk.
Common Questions About Radiology Bill Payments
“Why did I get a bill from both the hospital AND the radiology company?”
This happens sometimes – the hospital bills for the facility fee, while the radiology group bills separately for the professional services (the radiologist’s interpretation of your images). Both bills are legitimate and need to be paid.
“I think my insurance should have covered this. What should I do?”
If you believe your insurance should have covered your imaging service, first call the number on your bill to verify they have your correct insurance information. If they do, you might need to contact your insurance company to understand why the claim wasn’t fully covered.
“Can I set up a payment plan?”
Usually, yes! Both Radiology Ltd. and OIA typically offer payment plan options for patients who need them. Call the number on your bill to discuss your options.
Why Online Bill Pay is Worth It
I switched to online bill pay for my medical bills last year, and honestly, it’s been a game-changer. Here’s why I think it’s worth considering:
- Convenience: Pay anytime, anywhere – even at 2 AM in your pajamas!
- Record-keeping: Digital receipts are automatically saved
- Security: No risk of your check getting lost in the mail
- Speed: Payments process faster, reducing the risk of late fees
Security Concerns?
I was worried about security when I first started paying medical bills online too. But companies like Radiology Ltd. take this seriously. Their MyRad portal uses:
- 256-bit SSL connections
- HIPAA-compliant environments
- AES 256-bit government-level security encryption
That’s actually more secure than mailing a check with your account number written on it!
Final Tips
- Keep documentation: Save confirmation numbers when you pay online
- Check your EOB: Compare your Explanation of Benefits from your insurance to make sure the billing is correct
- Don’t ignore bills: If you have questions or can’t pay, call them – most medical billing departments are willing to work with you
- Update your info: Make sure they have your current address and insurance information
Remember that Radiology Ltd. and OIA are different companies with different payment systems, so be sure you’re using the correct website or phone number based on which company actually sent your bill.

“OIA has done a quality job of helping to expand JURA’s reach into the community by negotiating acquisitions, arranging financing, effectively marketing and managing all JURA locations while continuing to look for other expansion opportunities. It would not have been possible to bring all of this to such a successful and timely conclusion without OIA’s resources, expertise and capital.”
