Choosing an imaging provider is an important decision for our customers, affecting the quality and cost of their care. To support informed decisions, we're collecting information about the imaging capabilities of all Premera-contracted imaging facilities.
Why registration is important
When you register, your facility information is displayed in AIM ProviderPortal(SM) a tool provided by our partner, AIM Specialty Health. Registering makes your information is available to ordering physicians and members requesting imaging services.
What kinds of imaging providers should register?
We're collecting information about the imaging capabilities of all Premera contracted imaging facilities in Alaska that provide the technical component of imaging services (Computed Tomography CT/CTA, Magnetic Resonance Imaging MRI/MRA, Nuclear Cardiology, and Positron Emission Tomography PET).
How to register
- Go online to www.aimspecialtyhealth.com/goweb
- Select Premera from the drop down menu
- Log in to AIM ProviderPortal
- Select Access Your OptiNet® Registration found on the left hand side of the ProviderPortal home page
- OptiNet will guide you through the registration process
What data will be included?
The AIM online registration tool, OptiNet collects data on imaging providers related to: facility specifications, technologist and physician qualifications, accreditation, equipment features, and technical registration. This information is used to determine how organizations conform to industry-recognized standards, including those established by the American College of Radiology (ACR) and the Intersocietal Accreditation Commission (IAC).
Why are we making this change?
Our goal is to support informed decision-making by referring providers and their patients, including access to accurate information about imaging facilities and contracted imaging providers.
