FirstScan™ Celebrates 1st Anniversary

FirstScan™ (www.firstscanomaha.com), the first and only clinic specializing in MRI screening for the early detection of prostate cancer based in Omaha, NE, has reached the final of many significant milestones in its first year, recently celebrating its one-year anniversary. Spearheaded by Dr. Randall Jones, the creator of the revolutionary device used in the innovative, 100% non-invasive procedure, along with an executive team of physicians and radiology service specialists, FirstScan was just introduced to the public in June of 2015 and made available to the public in November. Dr. Jones serves as Chief Technology Officer, and Dr. Brian Loggie, Chief of the Division of Surgical Oncology at Creighton University, serves as Medical Director.

Accredited by the American College of Radiology in Body MRI, FirstScan is a locally owned and operated, independent radiology provider focused solely on the development and delivery of their new prostate cancer detection method, which costs $595. While in the midst of negotiations with insurance carriers, currently FirstScan is strictly fee for service, but also offers a payment plan option. However, this is a very affordable option given you could pay up to five times that amount out of pocket if your physician was going to refer you to a hospital system. It is also an option to use HSA’s or FSA’s to pay for the exam, and the team at FirstScan will guide you through the entire process.

Anyone interested in this procedure is encouraged to discuss with a physician or call FirstScan directly at (402) 934-1999. You are also welcome to email info@firstscanomaha.com to request more information, or visit www.firstscanomaha.com, which has a wealth of information, research, and resources that are useful for making decisions regarding a possible prostate issue.
