What is MRI?
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) uses strong magnets and radio waves to produce detailed images of organs and tissues inside the body. It does not use radiation and is commonly ordered for brain, spine, joint, and abdominal imaging. Scan duration is typically 30 to 60 minutes.
Medicare Coverage
Medicare coverage for mri is determined by National Coverage Determinations (NCDs). Coverage status shown above reflects national policy. Local Coverage Determinations (LCDs) from your regional Medicare Administrative Contractor may have additional requirements. Self-pay patients can use Medicare rates as a benchmark when negotiating prices.

How to choose where to get MRI
The cash-pay range on this page is $250-$1,070. Before you book, use these steps to find out which setting a quote comes from and what it includes.
Step by step
- Get the exact order from your doctor: the body part, and whether the scan is with contrast, without contrast, or both. Each version is a different billing code, so a quote only counts if it matches your order.
- Ask at least one independent imaging center and one hospital outpatient department for a self-pay quote for that exact scan.
- Ask whether the quote includes the radiologist's reading of the images, or whether the radiologist bills you separately.
- At an imaging center outside a hospital, confirm it is accredited for that type of scan. Medicare requires non-hospital centers that bill it for MRI, CT and PET to be accredited by a CMS-approved organization, such as the American College of Radiology. Source: CMS, advanced imaging accreditation
- If you are uninsured or paying without insurance, ask each provider for a Good Faith Estimate. Under the No Surprises Act, providers generally must give you one when you schedule at least 3 business days ahead, or when you ask. Source: CMS, medical bill rights
- Keep every estimate. If a provider or facility bills you at least $400 more than its Good Faith Estimate, you can start the federal patient-provider dispute process for a bill dated within the last 120 days. The fee is $25. Source: CMS, dispute a bill
Care settings compared
| Setting | How it typically bills | What to ask for | When it fits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Independent imaging center | A charge for the scan. The radiologist's reading may be included or billed separately. | A written self-pay quote for the exact scan, and whether the reading is included. | Routine outpatient scans you can schedule ahead. |
| Hospital outpatient department | A hospital facility charge for the scan, with the radiologist often billing separately. | The discounted cash price from the hospital's price list, plus the radiology group's self-pay rate. | When your doctor wants hospital support, such as sedation, or the scan is part of other hospital care. |

Related Procedures in Orlando
CT Scan
A CT (computed tomography) scan combines multiple X-ray images taken from different angles to produce cross-sectional views of bones, blood vessels, and soft tissues. It is faster than MRI and frequently used for chest, abdomen, and trauma evaluation. The scan itself takes only a few minutes.
Colonoscopy
A colonoscopy uses a flexible tube with a camera to examine the entire lining of the colon and rectum. It is the standard screening test for colorectal cancer and is recommended starting at age 45. Sedation is typically administered, and the procedure lasts 30 to 60 minutes.
Mammogram
A mammogram is a low-dose X-ray examination of the breast used to detect breast cancer early, often before symptoms appear. Screening mammograms are recommended annually for women starting at age 40. The procedure compresses the breast between two plates and takes about 15 to 20 minutes.
Ultrasound
An ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to create real-time images of organs, tissues, and blood flow. It is widely used for abdominal, pelvic, obstetric, and vascular imaging without any radiation exposure. The exam is painless and typically completed in 20 to 40 minutes.
