9. Please note that when you receive an Order Confirmation email this means that, unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing by the parties, a formal contract based on the diagnostic imaging scan centre’s standard form terms and conditions (the “Centre Terms and Conditions”) has come into existence by and between the diagnostic imaging scan centre and you for the provision of the appointment (and all services contemplated therein) to the person in whose name you have booked the appointment. This contract is by and between you and the relevant diagnostic imaging scan centre alone, and to the extent that MRI Plus’s role is limited to acting as an intermediary booking, marketing and payment collection agent of said scan centre, MRI Plus shall not be a party to this contract.

4. Appointment: Confirmation of date/time and results

1. Following the issue of the Order Confirmation, MRI Plus will use best efforts to ensure that one of our consultant clinicians (a “MRI Plus Practitioner”) reviews your Order, so as to assess whether the type and modality of scan that you have selected reasonably corresponds to your clinical profile and medical priors, and is suitable for the body part to be examined (as determined solely in accordance with any patient information and screening questionnaire responses that you submit as part of your Order).
2. In conducting the review mentioned in clause 4.1, the MRI Plus Practitioner may contact the person in whose name the appointment is booked so as to review the clinical information submitted in their name, and discuss any further needs or medical priors they may choose to bring to the MRI Plus Practitioner’s attention (the “Pre- Consult”).
3. MRI Plus shall use reasonable endeavours to procure that a MRI Plus Practitioner shall contact the person in whose name the appointment is booked for the purpose of undertaking the Pre-Consult within 48 hours of issuance of the Order Confirmation. If you or the person in whose name the appointment is booked have not heard from a MRI Plus Practitioner within this timeframe, please email [email protected] with the subject-line “Outstanding Pre-Consult” or telephone 01702782006.
4. If during the course of the Pre-Consult, it becomes apparent that any or all of the clinical information or safety questionnaire responses provided by you on behalf of the person in whose name the appointment is booked is materially inaccurate, incomplete or out-of-date, with the result that the modality or type of scan selected as part of an appointment in an Order cannot be performed on the relevant party in accordance with a responsible body of medical opinion and/or in accordance with the nominated diagnostic scan centre’s ordinary course of practise, then MRI Plus may terminate the Order and the Contract with immediate effect, we reserve the right to charge for your appointment in full.
5. Following the Pre-Consult, the MRI Plus Practitioner shall refer your Order onward to the relevant diagnostic scanning centre, so that they may provide final confirmation of the date, time and location of the appointment. The diagnostic scan centre will contact the person named in the Order directly within 5 to 7 Business Days of your receipt of the Order Confirmation so as to confirm the date, time and location of the appointment. Where you were offered the option to pre-select the date, time and location of the appointment at the time of booking, this will be the date, time and location confirmed to you. Please contact [email protected] or telephone 01702782006 if you have not heard from the diagnostic scan centre within this timeframe.
6. Following the appointment, a radiologist’s report will be emailed to you (the Client) in PDF format within 7 Business Days, unless otherwise specified in the Centre Terms and Conditions and or in your upgrade package service. Due to the complex nature of radiology reporting, there can be delays to ensure we deliver an accurate report. Should there be a delay in your reporting time, MRI Plus will not be held liable for any delays. Digital copies of any diagnostic scan images shall be made exclusively available to you for onward care. Instructions on how to access the digital scan images will be included in the same email as the radiologist’s report. Depending on the Centre Terms and Conditions, you may be asked to access a third-party service (such as the Cimar Portal) or provide additional consents and/or documentation (such as image request forms) to access the digital scan images. Detailed reporting times are as follows:
1. Bronze: 7 Business Days
2. Silver: 2 Business Days
3. Gold: 2 Business Days
4. Platinum: 2 Business Days
Where the radiologist’s report identifies any abnormalities in the diagnostic scan images, a MRI Plus Practitioner may contact you to discuss the results (“Results Review”). The MRI Plus Practitioner will only contact the End Client’s GP directly in exceptional circumstances.
7. You expressly acknowledge and agree, and shall procure that any person in whose name an appointment is booked is aware and agrees, prior to participating in any Pre-Consult or Results Review that:
8. MRI Plus is not a healthcare, medical or medical device provider, and any statements, representations or materials provided by or on behalf of the MRI Plus Practitioners in the course of or pursuant to the Pre-Consults and/or Results Reviews shall in no manner whatsoever be construed as giving or providing access to medical advice. Any materials, advice or documentation provided or made available during or pursuant to the Pre-Consults and/or Results Review are intended for general informational purposes only, are not intended to be relied upon and are not a substitute for comprehensive professional medical advice based on an individual’s medical history, condition and circumstances or the results of any radiologist report or diagnostic scans images produced pursuant to an appointment.
9. MRI Plus makes no claims, representations, warranties or guarantees that MRI Plus Practitioners will accurately or comprehensively review, examine or otherwise view any Order (whether in whole or in part), or where they do so, that any advice that they provide will be appropriate to the any party’s needs.
10. MRI Plus makes no representations, warranties or guarantees about the accuracy, completeness or suitability for any purpose of any advice, materials or information published as part of any informational sections of the MRI Plus website, or any correspondence or notices provided by MRI Plus. MRI Plus shall not be responsible for the contents of such advice, materials or information or for any consequences that result from your or any other person’s use or access of them.

For illustrative purposes, this may occur where upon reviewing your Order it is reasonably determined that you might require a contrast injection or second modality of scan. We will contact you to confirm any change to your Order prior to implementing it.
4. You may cancel your Order at any point after placing it but not less than 72 hours (unless you have opted for our platinum package) before the schedule date and time or the appointment.

If you cancel an Order within the 72 hours prior to an appointment, you shall be charged in full.
5. You are responsible for, and shall procure that, the person named in the Order attends the appointment at the scheduled the date, time and location.

6. If during the course of a Pre-Consult it becomes apparent that any part or all of the clinical information or safety questionnaire responses provided by you on behalf of the person named in the Order is materially inaccurate, incomplete or out-of-date, with the result that it is reasonably determined by the MRI Plus Practitioner that the modality or type of scan selected as part of the Order cannot be performed on relevant party in accordance with a responsible body of medical opinion or the nominated diagnostic scan centre’s ordinary course of practice, then MRI Plus, acting as agent of the nominated diagnostic scan centre, may terminate the Order with immediate effect.

with the result that it is reasonably determined by the diagnostic scan centre that the modality or type of scan selected as part of the Order cannot be performed on the End Client in accordance with a responsible body of medical opinion or the nominated diagnostic scan centre’s ordinary course of practice (such as where certain specialist clinical protocols, interventions, staff or equipment would be needed that are not available at the centre) then we shall not invoice you the Appointment Fee. We reserve the right to charge you for your appointment in full.

Notwithstanding clause 6.1, the diagnostic scan centre may during the course of your appointment (including for illustrative purposes where there are complications or where initial investigation indicates that further diagnostic interventions or specialist equipment are required) prescribe tests, treatments and medications which are not covered as part of the Appointment Fee charged by Us to you. Please note that the diagnostic scan centre may charge for additional fees in respect of any such tests, treatments, medications, in-patient costs, sundry items and medical consumables (i.e. bandaging, sutures, catheters, gowns etc) and any otherwise medical products or services. Any such additional fees shall be payable to the diagnostic scan centre directly by you or your Insurer, in accordance with the payment terms in the relevant diagnostic scan centre’s Centre Terms and Conditions.
