How MRI Cash Pay researches listings and cost notes—and what a “Verified” badge will mean when phone checks begin.
Purpose
MRI Cash Pay helps readers understand cash-pay MRI and find publicly listed businesses by city. The aim is specific, sourced facts—not rankings or “best of” lists.
Listings
- Inclusion is free. Payment does not affect inclusion or order.
- Name, address, phone, and services come from the company’s website (or another clearly cited public page).
- Each listing shows a “Last checked” date for that source.
- License numbers appear only when they come from a public licensing database or board lookup.
- Reviews, star ratings, and “top rated” labels are not published here.
Local and cost content
- City notes stick to checkable facts (for example, which state agency handles well permits).
- Cost figures cite their source and date. They are planning ranges or store advertising—not bids.
- A local dollar range appears on a city page only when a public government, extension, or similar source supports it. Otherwise the page may show a national consumer guide or a retailer advertising claim, with the source named.
Photos
Photos are licensed stock or public-domain images. Credits are listed on the photo credits page. They do not depict listed businesses.
How verification works
Today, every listing is a directory entry researched from public websites. Contact details are only as current as the “Last checked” date—confirm them before you hire or visit.
A Verified badge will mean a phone (or equivalent) check confirmed the public listing details. Phone checks are not running yet, so no listing carries a Verified badge.
Fields such as “Gives written quotes” or “Response time” appear only when the company’s own public site states them.
