What Is a Self-Pay MRI?
A self-pay MRI simply means paying a straightforward, upfront price
for your scan instead of going through insurance.
For many patients – particularly those with high deductibles, HSA plans, no insurance coverage
or insurance authorization delays or denials – this approach can be simpler, faster,
and sometimes even less expensive than traditional insurance billing.
At Youngstown Orthopaedic Associates, our self-pay MRI option provides
high-quality diagnostic imaging for a flat fee of $500 at our Boardman imaging location.
* A physician order is all that is required for MRI services. Patients referred internally will already have both a referral and an order. For outside providers, a physician order alone is sufficient (no additional referral required).
A Simpler, More
Affordable MRI Option
The cost of MRI imaging can vary widely depending on where it is performed and how it is billed through insurance. For many patients — especially those with high-deductible plans — paying directly for an MRI may actually be the most affordable option.
Self-pay MRI provides simple, transparent pricing and may allow patients to schedule imaging sooner.
This option is designed for patients who are paying out of pocket, have high-deductible plans or have experienced delays or denials through insurance.

What Can an MRI
Help Diagnose?
Your doctor may recommend an MRI to help diagnose conditions such as:
- Torn ligaments and tendons
- Meniscus injuries
- Rotator cuff tears
- Spine conditions such as herniated discs
- Joint damage and soft tissue injuries
Because MRI provides detailed images of muscles, joints, and soft tissue, it helps physicians accurately diagnose injuries and determine the best treatment plan.
