Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar f tn In California, it cost us about $18K out of pocket with all the meds (my husband had to do an extraction,though, so that tacked on $2500). The cost can vary some depending on what your particular issues are. But yes, it's very expensive if your insurance does not cover at least part of it.
Avatar f tn We just did the 3d HD at a place called peek a baby. I'm from California and don't know if they have where u live but yes. Ours is definitely a boy! I'm 15 weeks and 3 days Congrats!
Avatar m tn I have pain in my low back,middle back,neck,back of head hurts, left leg burns at times,both buttocks burn at times,chest pain inside right lower rib area,left ear hurts, i walk kind of wobbly,my vision is getting worse by the week it seems, my lower arms and pinky and ring fingers go numb on both sides when sleeping or sitting. I had lamonectomy l4 l5 in 1998. I had MRI on lower back and neck April 2008 which showed degenerative disc and 2 bulging disc in lower back and 1 in neck area.
Avatar m tn 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).
Avatar f tn is thousands of dollars per month as you have heard. I had Blue Cross of California during treatment and my co-pay cost were similar to the prices you quoted.
Avatar n tn Dear Roseberry, You probably have a disc herniation in your neck and need an MRI scan. If that’s what it is, then you may need to have it taken out, which is usually a one night hospital stay. If you’re having any change in urination of any sort, or difficulty walking, then it becomes much more urgent and you should go to an ER and tell them this. Get the MRI soon. Do not do chiropractry in the face of a disc herniation as it could be dangerous. Dr.
Avatar n tn An ultrasound and an uptake scan are different tests. :o) Didn't know FNA's were so expensive though...ouch.
Avatar m tn Mine were done about 7 - 10 years ago. If I remember correctly, each ran about $38,000. Wish I knew for sure. I do know they're expensive.
Avatar m tn did they order a follow up with an MRI ? this usually gives a better picture on what it is. I can tell you that most lesions on the liver are hemangiomas which are benign and nothing to worry about.
Avatar f tn The more info we have, the more we can help. Many factors play a role. I live in California and subutex cost me $350 for doctor and program plus $6 for each 8mg tab.

HE THINKS IT HAS SPREAD TO OTHER PLACES MY QUESTION IS DOES ANYONE KNOW OF SOME INSURANCES THAT MIGHT HELP?
Avatar f tn Other than cost, is there a reason I should have a CT scan instead of an MRI? I would rather not have the radiation exposure of a CT scan if an MRI will produce adequate data. Thank you!
987762 tn?1671273328 The MRI The purpose of a MRI or magnetic resonance imaging machine, is to harmlessly work out what internally is physically wrong with you, without involving exploratory surgery. MRIs have 3 types: conventional, open bore and fully open. In an conventional MRI, a long toroidal (Doughnut-shaped) electromagnet supplies the electromagnetic force, and the subject is put through a long 'tunnel', where a full-body scan is supplied.
Avatar m tn It's not a cost issue. My doctor doesn't want to send me to MRI nor CT scan. She says that i don't need to do MRI, because CT didn't showed anyting abnormal, and that i am too young for serious disorders. I find this strange, because it was 8 years ago, and i assume that something could changed. Or maybe i'm wrong?
Avatar n tn Vision only good with one eye closed. I had MRI, CT scan, Testd for MS, Diabetes, etc. I have seen 3 Opthamologists in all. What next? My Neurologist is thinking of another MRI with more precise slices. any other suggestions? Thank you for your time and consideration.

Avatar f tn is an MRI or an ultrasound as accurate as a CT scan in determining if the spot on my liver is a hemangioma and not cancerous? Other than cost, is there a reason I should have a CT scan instead of an MRI? I would rather not have the radiation exposure of a CT scan if an MRI will produce adequate data. Furthermore, should I see a specialist instead of my PCP about this? Thank you!
567677 tn?1246767776 One more thought about the cost - did they give you a price for the MRI test? See if you can get that negotiated rate like they do with the big insurance companies. I'm with Anthem and it seems to me they only pay about 20-25% of the rate that is billed for my MRI's. It would be great if you could get this worked out too.
765439 tn?1292960414 Nevertheless, if you feel strongly about not having a CT scan, you can call your doctor and tell him or her that you want an MRI instead of a CT scan. But be aware that your insurance may decline to cover the cost of the MRI since CTs are the standard for a 21 y/o male patient.
Avatar n tn As the CT scan report was normal and since there was no MRI scan facility in the hospital the patient was not shifted immediately to another one. The doctor of the hospital to which he was later admitted mentioned about the delay. that is why i felt so. Do you think that the CT scan report which mentioned "brain-stem normal" was correct?
