Get MRI Now Expands No-Referral MRI Access to Nine New States

BOCA RATON, FL, September 10, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ — Get MRI Now, the healthcare technology platform that lets patients secure a physician-authorized MRI referral from their phone in seconds, today announced it is expanding beyond Florida into nine additional states: Texas, Nevada, California, Arizona, New Mexico, Illinois, Colorado, New York, and New Jersey. The expansion follows a year of operation in Florida, where the platform connected thousands of patients with same-day imaging access without an office visit, a referral appointment, or a wait.

The move brings Get MRI Now’s model (no referral appointment, no copay, physician-reviewed authorization in seconds) to a combined population of more than 140 million Americans across the ten states now served, at a moment when diagnostic imaging delays and rising insurance costs are a nationwide problem, not a Florida-specific one.

A National Problem, Proven Out in Florida

Nationally, hospitals report that routine MRI appointments often require two to three weeks or more to schedule, with nearly half of all MRI orders delayed beyond their originally expected date. Get MRI Now was built to close that gap, launching first in Florida to prove the model before scaling.

Florida offered a clear test case. ACA marketplace premiums in the state rose an average of 34.1% for 2026, from $648 to $867 per month (Florida Office of Insurance Regulation), and roughly 2.5 million Floridians under 65 remain uninsured (U.S. Census Bureau / FL Health Charts, 2024), leaving millions of patients facing higher out-of-pocket costs for every step of the traditional referral process. Get MRI Now’s first year in the state showed that removing the office-visit bottleneck gets patients to a scan faster and for less money. The company is now applying that same model in nine additional states facing comparable coverage gaps and scheduling backlogs.

How It Works: Now in Ten States

There are no office-visit copays, no physical therapy prerequisites, and no waiting weeks for an appointment just to request a scan.

Now Available In: Florida (original market), Texas, Nevada, California, Arizona, New Mexico, Illinois, Colorado, New York, and New Jersey.

New imaging center partnerships are being added in each state on a rolling basis to expand same-day availability.

Licensed Physicians in Every State We Serve

Every request is reviewed by a panel of board-certified physicians, each licensed in the state where the patient is located, based on the symptoms the patient presents. Patients receive a legitimate medical authorization, not a workaround, that is accepted at partner imaging centers in that state. Get MRI Now maintains full compliance with each state’s medical licensing and telehealth standards as it expands.

“Whether a patient is in Orlando or Austin, the standard of review doesn’t change: a board-certified physician licensed in that state evaluates every request before a referral is issued. Expanding to nine new states means a lot more families can get an answer about what’s wrong with them in minutes instead of weeks.”

Dr. Marie Jones, Board-Certified Florida Physician, Get MRI Now Medical Review Panel

Real Impact for Families

Consider a working parent in Casselberry, Florida, who injures their back lifting a child. The traditional path means finding childcare and taking time off work for multiple appointments, X-rays, six weeks of physical therapy, and repeat visits just to justify an MRI referral that may still be denied, all before a diagnosis is possible.

With Get MRI Now, that same parent completes the referral process from their phone during a lunch break, pays a flat $49.95 fee, and schedules a scan at a nearby imaging center the same day. That same relief is now available to families in Austin, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Albuquerque, Chicago, Denver, New York City, Newark, and communities across all ten states that Get MRI Now has begun to serve.
