Wow,that’s a huge cost!
Although we have the NHS here and we are fortunate not to have
to pay, it’s still a very good point that I wouldn’t have been sent for another MRI unless medically necessary.
Because of your forum, I’ve now found similar brain tumour support
sites here in the UK. I don’t know yet how helpful they will be but I no
longer feel alone and thanks to your members replies you’ve helped me to ask important questions, be my own advocate, maybe get second opinions and also take a family member with me at my next appointment. Also,not to accept waiting for months on end before I get seen. Your site is invaluable, thank you all, and I pray for everyone on here 🙏

i am grateful to have very good insurance which covered all costs of the MRI. i was trying to point out the cost of a patient has a “medically unnecessary” MRI in an academic hospital.

fortunately my share of the payment was zero and the hospital was required to accept as total payment their contracted rate with my insurance company—almost a 50 percent reduction
