how much does an mri scan cost the nhs

No kidding. I have no idea how much a doctors visit or an MRI costs. I was shown a CRAB "price list" (it was stuck in between the pages of the info/CRAB comparison booklet i was given at the MS clinic) let's just say that but for universal health care, i don't think i would be able to begin the treatment i know i need.

Customary and Reasonable Charge for the Denver Area is about $900 per body part for an MRI. So $900 for brain, $900 for C-spine and $900 for t-spine. List price is much higher. Most imaging centers can be negotiated (shhh! don't tell too many people) down to the CRC amount. Still more expensive than the UK. There are way too many middlemen and "fiscal intermediaries" in the US health delivery model.

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!

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 would rather pay for them then be miserable.

here in the UK, NHS arranges the scan and midwife appointments for free with your nearest birthing center / maternity hospital. When it comes to birthing and hospital stay, what part is free and what expenses do i have to bear from my pocket?

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.

Now I only have to wait for 2 weeks to get my NHS scan.

The NHS diagnostic centre charge £10 for a copy of images and the report. However if I go private the the NHS consultant I am due to see in two months, then he will have access to them anyway I think. But I will get them, in case I need them.
