How do they bill those?

TNT

How much should an MRI cost? I don’t know

Why does it cost $3,600 without insurance and $400 with insurance?

An MRI machine costs about 3 million. The room shielding is another

TNT

PSA regarding MRIs in Utah. Pay cash and get it from Mountain Medical Imaging.

These ridiculous numbers and coding methods are thanks to insurance companies

Insurance companies are responsible for medical codes and coding rules?

Indeed but, You don’t think medicare is influenced by anyone…?

Always shop around for the lowest cash price. It has been rare for us when cash

Fly to Houston and get your test. Overall cost would be lower.
