A startup aiming to simplify the process for booking imaging appointments has raised $12 million, leaders announced Monday.
Several venture capital firms pitched in on the series A financing round, which is supporting Scan.com’s expansion in the U.S. Already established in the United Kingdom and around since 2017, the company offers services such as simplified scheduling, cost transparency and online educational resources for patients.
Earlier this year, Scan.com partneredwith Simplyhealth, a self-pay health plan provider in the U.K., to make it easier for users to find imaging services.
“Our expanding partnership with Scan.com will allow our customers to book MRI, CT, X-ray and ultrasound scans online in minutes, without a referral from a GP,” Rupert Novis, director of Simplyhealth Ventures, which contributed to the fundraising round, said in a statement. “Scan.com’s aim of making booking a diagnostic scan as easy as booking a hotel room aligns perfectly with our purpose of improving access to healthcare for everyone in the U.K.”
