Every submitted study carries an interpretation fee. Through the myBalto Foundation, RadsForVets directs a percentage of that fee into an angel fund for the participating clinic.

The commitment runs through the myBalto Foundation, and it attaches to the work itself: every submitted study, at every priority, generates the return. There is no separate program to join for the studies a clinic is already sending.

What the Commitment Is

A percentage of the interpretation fee per submitted study goes into an angel fund for the participating clinic through the myBalto Foundation.

The word to notice is participating. The fund is assigned to the clinic that submitted the study, giving that practice a way to help owners who cannot afford the next step in care.

How It Works

  • The clinic submits studies as usual, at whichever priority the case calls for.
  • A percentage of the interpretation fee for each study supports the clinic’s angel fund.
  • The Operations Team can explain participation during onboarding.

Nothing about the submission changes. The clinic continues to send studies at Standard, STAT or Wet Read exactly as the case calls for, and the commitment applies in the background without a step, a form, or a decision at submission time.

Why It Exists

Imaging decisions are often made alongside a cost conversation with a client. A contribution to the clinic’s angel fund on every study creates a way to help owners when cost stands between the patient and the next step in care. It changes nothing about the read itself: every case still goes to a board-certified radiologist under the usual priority commitments.

For a busy practice, the fund builds quietly alongside the clinical benefits of remote reading. When an owner cannot afford the next step in care, the clinic has a dedicated resource that may help keep that care within reach.
