We get the order, we do the exam, we get paid.
That’s how Monica Hale, the Director of Operations at Sunrise Imaging, sums up their daily workflow.
But when we asked Walt Okafor, the CFO, if they actually get paid for every single exam they perform, he had just one word for it:
"Mostly."
Sunrise Imaging has 8 modalities, one building, and a legendary 22-year-old fax machine named Gerald.
Like almost every imaging center today, their team works incredibly hard, but the traditional framework causes revenue to leak at three distinct stages:
1️⃣ Before Arrival: The order gets lost in transit before it hits the schedule.
2️⃣ Before the Exam: The order arrives, but fails to become a completed scan.
3️⃣ Before Payment: The exam is done, but the claim gets lost or denied.
When you're relying on manual tracking, finding the exact gap between an order and a paycheck is like searching for a needle in a haystack.
"The Imaging Center" is a weekly mockumentary series pulling back the curtain on healthcare operations and revenue cycle management.
Watch the official trailer below. A brand new episode drops every Monday.

👇 Directors of Ops & CFOs: Which of these three leaks does your center catch first, and how do you track it?
Let’s talk in the comments.

An imaging order arrives by fax.
Before that visit ever becomes billable, it has to survive four manual handoffs:
• Insurance verification
• Prior auth• Scheduling
• Registration
When a denial hits 3 weeks later, it’s usually because of the gaps between them. 👇
Nobody made a mistake. The staff did their jobs perfectly.
The handoff just didn't have anyone assigned to watch it.
Gravity watches all of them. We surface the gaps in real-time

An order comes in from a referring physician with one field missing.
Nothing dramatic. In most workflows, it lands in a queue nobody's specifically watching, so it waits.
Could be hours, could be days, until someone happens to open it.
On an AOS-connected workflow, that same gap gets caught the second the order lands and is routed to whoever needs to fix it.
It's resolved before it's anywhere near scheduling.
It's the same mistake either way. Whether someone catches it right away is what's different.
Your scanner is idle a third of the day. Your patients wait 3 weeks.
That gap isn't capacity. It's faxes, hold queues, unfilled cancellations and late auths.
Gravity AI works that queue around the clock, on top of the RIS you already have.

Is your imaging center still running on fax, phones and payer portals?
Most imaging centers don't have a scanner problem. They have an admin problem.
Watch how Gravity AI powered by @alphanodus changes that. In 3 minutes, you'll see:
