The short answer is it depends. The fee can vary greatly depending on where you get it done and what the negotiated cost is with your insurance company. In most cases a hospital will charge you more because they often have facility fees. A client of mine had two MRIs doen this year. One (at a hospital) cost over $4900 AFTER the network discounts. One (at a brand new free-standing facility) cost $900 AFTER the discounts. If you ask before you have it done you MAY get the amount they bill the insurance company but it is next to impossible to get the amount the insurance company will allow until after it is done and billed.

Can people with pacemakers have an MRI and a Cat Scan?
People with pacemakers can have any CT scan. The answer for MRI is changing now. Older pacemakers were not MRI compatible. There are new pacemakers being installed that are MRI compatible (up to a certain size MRI strength). When you had your pacemaker installed, you should have received a card telling the technologist about your pacemaker and if it is safe to enter the MRI that will be used. If you did not get the card or have lost that card contact the office of the doctor that put your pacemaker in and ask them and also request another card.

Cost of MRI for knee?
The cost of an MRI study can range from $300 to $10000. There is a huge difference in the cost of an MRI study across the country and even city to city. In addition to pricing being very different throughout a region, pricing is also affected by the MRI clinic that you decide to use. When your doctor orders an MRI, he/she may give you a referral to an MRI clinic in the hospital they are affiliated with an independent MRI facility. The hospital MRI's are usually 4-5 times as expensive as the independent imaging center with no difference in the quality of the scan on most occasions. I found a center in the Milwaukee market that charges everyone the same price of just $600 for any MRI, no matter what insurance you have. I used them and my doctor was very happy with not only the quality of the scan and radiology reads, but also with the professionalism of the clinic. The name of the MRI Milwaukee Clinic was Smart Choice MRI (www.SmartChoiceMRI.com). Although Smart Choice MRI has a transparent pricing model where every patient knows how much they are going to be charged, this is very rare across the country and so I would always suggest calling your insurance company and the imaging center you choose to figure out how much the MRI exam is going to cost. In the Portland and Seattle, you can check out Sprig Health for the cost and description of MRI procedures at a few locations in town (https://www.sprighealth.com/site/all-services). Currently the prices seem to range from $485 to $1190 for MRI with and without Contrast.

What the average cost of an MRI of the lumbar spine?
I recently had a lumbar spine MRI with and without contrast. My insurance company was charged $4,307 plus an additional $700+ for the radiologist's fee. When I saw the bill, I laughed thinking there must have been a mistake. Nevertheless, the insurance company actually approved $2,500 of the charges. I've had several other MRIs in the past which cost anywhere from $500 to $1750, including the radiologist's report. Since receiving the bill, I called some local imaging clinics whose charges range from $500 to $600 for a cash-pay lumbar spine MRI with and without contrast including the films and the radiologist's report. My conclusion is there is no such thing as an 'average cost' for a lumbar spine MRI. The cost is whatever the clinic wants to charge. Unfortunately, the doctor who orders the MRI usually sends you to the MRI clinic associated with his practice and he has no idea of the cost. And the patient usually trusts the doctor and doesn't bother asking the price ahead of time or shopping around. That was what happened in my case, and now I know why insurance premiums are so high. The moral: always shop around...
