There is significant value in outsourcing IONM services. First and foremost, Intra-Op is a very specialized diagnostic company offering multi-modality and multi-specialty intraoperative services. Our Medical Directors and Technologists live and breathe the latest techniques in intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring; our computers are state-of-the-art and replaced regularly to ensure optimum performance. Our size gives us the flexibility to handle high volume days with relative ease and our management staff keeps an eye on efficiencies to ensure our service remains highly cost effective and reliable. Finally, IOM has the ability to bill and collect from most third party insurers which would otherwise bundle or reduce payments of these services under the hospitals' normal surgical technical charges.
