How Much Does an
MRI Cost Without Insurance
MRI creates detailed images of the inside of the body
by using strong magnets and radio waves.
Trying to get an MRI without insurance coverage,
the cost is anywhere from $400 to $3,500.
Prices also vary widely depending on the clinic or facility where
the MRI is performed, as well as the geographic area.
Factors like the type of MRI machine and the
expertise of the technician can affect the cost as well.
MRIs without insurance are usually paid for by cash or credit card,
although some facilities accept checks or financing.
Another way to save on an MRI is to shop around for the
best price from different clinics or facilities.
Additionally, many doctors offer discounts for
cash payments or if you pay upfront.
It may be possible for you to negotiate a rate with a
medical provider outside your insurance's network.
Another option is to look into state-funded healthcare
programs for people with limited incomes and resources.
Finally, you can try to negotiate with the doctor or hospital to get
a discount on the price of an MRI without insurance.
