how much does an mri scan cost privately

Most of us are at the mercy of docs and insurance companies when it comes to our treatment. We are often asked to undergo treatment or tests without knowing much about the cost to us. My Tysabri infusions are billed to the insurance company @$6,000 each. I couldn't get an info on MY cost before I started getting them in November. I started them anyway. My out of pocket for the 4 infusions to date is less than $600, my annual out of network deductible.

I live in the uk. Is there a private mri scan centre where I can book an appointment for a thyroid scan?. Also does anybody know where i can have a thyroid re-uptake test done privately?.

My insurance probably won't cover thyrogen shots for my year scan and thyroglobulin test. Does anyone know how much 3 shots would cost me??? I don't look forward to going off my meds for several weeks since it took me 7-8 months to finally feel good after my tt. I was on 8 different synthroid doses until we got it right. I'm on 250mcg. I would rather pay for them then be miserable.

They can however, detect mental illness such as scitzophreneia which i know because i was diagnosed through an MRI. The only mental illness an MRI scan able detect is an actually different brain connections than that of a normal brain. Ive had one done for mental illess! Can you describe some of your symptoms, what you feel and how often yolou feel it? I know your question is based on needing to know where to get a private MRI scan, which i am unsure of!!

Hi again I would like to add that yes we have all see the posts about side effects that some people have experienced. Most if not all are related to treatment with interferon and while the problems those people have experienced are not good they are experienced by a minority of patients. Also I believe at least some of them had other medical conditions which most likely complicated their treatment or their livers were already in bad shape to begin with.

the neck pain(s) that got me sent for MRI/CT scan, the hoarse voice, which got me sent to an ENT - finally someone who could see what was happening!! While I shudder to think of the $ cost, which between my insurance company and myself, I know is many, many thousands. I suspect that the "personal" cost for some of us is far more. I know it is for me.

I doubt the hospital will change your scan date or give you an extra scan before the 20 week one however you could book a private scan. I booked a private scan for 16 weeks 1 day, it cost me £79 and I found out I was having a girl.

I was in Emergency and had an MRI and CT scan that day. Recently I had an MRI ordered from an internists office and he wrote on the request that it was not urgent. I ended up paying for it privately, because the wait was going to be months. When I did go privately, however, it was only $800 My fatherinlaw just spent a month in hospital, a lot of it in intensive care. He had wonderful care at no cost to him at all. Our system is far from perfect, but it's there for everyone.

Is it necessary to have more than one MRI scan done. I have only ever had the one scan, 15 yrs ago which was when I was given my official dx, despite having several episodes/relapses since. Initially told I had RRMS now being told I have SPMS with relapses.

hello, i was wondering how much it cost for my cat to get his 2nd booser shots and how much the cost is to fix him

Thats crazy! All maternity care here is free.. scans bloods delivery etc- so if a woman isn't approved how much would it cost all together? Here private is about €900 for everything but neither public or private have a limit on scans! I think some doctors just scan to pass time here!

About 3 years ago I was involved in a near fatal car accident because of the accident I recevied multiple x-rays and I have had 4 CT scans 2 full body with contrast and 2 without, a bone scan of the bony pelvis and an MRI with galium. All of this with the expection of the MRI was perfromed within a 1 year period which would now be 2 years ago.

My next step is to pay privately for an mri of the head my doctors have been ignoring me for over a year & I have now reached the stage I cannot approach them anymore I wouldn't know where to start for an ent but I've found where they do the scans why do you advise that??

We went to see a private doctor and he suggested an MRI scan. The result was a white matter, a lesion on the right part hemisphere and the radiologist thought it was a demyelination but he suggested to go and see a neurologist. We went privately again and the neurologist did some tests on him, like my husband to point the finger from his noise to the hand of the doctor, standing still with his legs together and close his eyes and so on.

Usually the formula with MRIs and insurance is the patient pays a third of the cost. This is from my meetings as a health advocate with the National MS Society. You can shop around for MRIs. For example a MRI at a free standing radiology practice is way less than a hospital. The insurance is not paying half of what the hospital is charging if your policy is a PPO. I stopped getting MRIs because of the cost and my neurologist can tell more about my neurological damage from my neurological exams.

Does an ultrasound cost in your city or town. In India it's like Rupees 600-1000.

He swore up and down that he knew what he was talking about until I went and got my own MRI that cost close to $2000.00 privately and it showed definite changes in comparison to the report from my original MRI!!!! I really thought that getting rid of that bone headed doctor would make my life easier...apparently not...I sort of feel like I have a "KICK ME" sign on my back! I don't know what I am looking for here but I am really frustrated and not too sure what to do.

Hi...I am wondering if anyone can give me a rough idea of what an MRI would cost. My hubby is having one in the morning to see what is causing him so much pain in his lower back. We do have insurance but will have to pay the deductable...and 20% of the remaining. I am just trying to get some idea of what we may be facing for out of pocket expense. Thanks so much. God bless...

I had an MRI of the brain back in May, to investigate various cognitive / neurological problems I've been experiencing since the start of 2009 (mild confusion, memory problems, muscle twitching, etc). This came back normal (I have neither copies of the scans , nor the radiographers report - just a letter from neurologist saying all findings were normal).
