Radiologic Associates of Fredericksburg

What Radiologic Associates of Fredericksburg does

Radiologic Associates of Fredericksburg (RAF) is a private, physician-owned radiology practice founded in 1948 and headquartered in Fredericksburg, Virginia. The practice provides subspecialized diagnostic imaging, interventional radiology, vascular surgery, and women's imaging services, organized through nine operating subsidiaries including Medical Imaging of Fredericksburg, Virginia Interventional & Vascular Associates (VIVA), and Imaging Center for Women. As of 2025, RAF employs 64 radiologists across more than 40 locations in Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, and Maryland, with a stated vision of 1.5 million imaging studies annually. The practice serves patients, referring physicians, and healthcare systems, with a foundational partnership with Mary Washington Healthcare providing around-the-clock hospital coverage at Mary Washington Hospital and Stafford Hospital.

RAF's technology stack is centered on a Sectra PACS/VNA platform for archiving, standards-based image management, long-term storage, and disaster recovery across multiple imaging and non-imaging applications. Capital equipment includes a dual-source CT scanner installed at Medical Imaging of Fredericksburg, enabling motion-free cardiac imaging at reduced radiation dose. Clinical work is organized by subspecialty (women's imaging, neuroradiology, musculoskeletal, body imaging, nuclear medicine, PET, interventional radiology), and referring-physician workflow is supported by a dedicated Physician Concierge service and a HIPAA-compliant TigerConnect messaging integration. Service offerings include diagnostic imaging, interventional and vascular procedures, expert witness testimony, second opinion reads, and over-read/peer review services for outside physicians and third-party administrators.

RAF operates on a professional services revenue model, billing through commercial insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, and managed care plans (Aetna, Anthem, CareFirst, Cigna, Humana, Kaiser, UnitedHealthcare, Tricare, and others) and providing charity care under Federal Poverty Income Guidelines. The go-to-market combines enterprise-level hospital partnership agreements (anchor: Mary Washington Healthcare) with direct-to-consumer outpatient scheduling through centralized phone lines and a website. Services are sold to three primary buyer types: (1) healthcare systems and hospitals contracting for subspecialized radiology coverage, (2) referring physicians routing patients through the Physician Concierge and TigerConnect channels, and (3) patients self-scheduling outpatient imaging. No external private equity, venture capital, or parent-company ownership is identified; the practice is physician-led under CEO Ian Gass (appointed October 2023), President Dr. Christopher Meyer, and Group President Dr. Roni Talukdar.
