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.

Is Self-Pay MRI Right
for You?

Self-pay MRI can be a great option for many patients.
It may be right for you if:

You have a high-deductible insurance plan

You have an HSA or are paying for care out of pocket

You have experienced insurance authorization delays or denials

You want clear, predictable pricing

You would like to schedule imaging sooner

What Can an MRI
Help Diagnose?

An MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) uses magnetic fields and radio waves to create highly detailed images of the body’s internal structures.

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.
