MRI Safety Co-pilot provides a digital platform that automates MRI safety screening and documentation for imaging centers. It sends electronic questionnaires to patients, collects implant information, educates users on safety protocols, and alerts staff to potential risks before appointments, while tracking time for Medicare CPT billing compliance. The HIPAA‑compliant system consolidates risk assessments, reducing reschedules and improving workflow efficiency.

Problem
Imaging centers must manually screen patients for implants, devices, and other MRI hazards using disparate paper and electronic forms, leading to missed risks, same‑day reschedules, and difficulty proving compliance with Medicare CPT billing requirements.
Solution
The MRI Safety Co‑pilot platform digitizes the entire safety workflow. Patients receive electronic screening questionnaires that capture detailed implant and device information before their appointment. The system educates patients on MRI safety, flags potential hazards early, and sends instant alerts to staff so risks can be addressed before the patient arrives. All screening logs, risk assessments, and time spent on safety research are stored in a HIPAA‑compliant repository, providing auditable evidence for CPT 76014 and 76015 billing. By automating these steps, the platform reduces rescheduling, improves patient safety, and streamlines compliance reporting for MRI facilities.
Target Audience
Primary customers are MRI imaging centers, including hospitals and outpatient radiology practices, that need efficient safety screening and compliance documentation for their patients and staff.
