Do you know if an American could go to where you are and pay for an MRI and doctors visit out of pocket?

- Scoundreller 4y agoPretty much, the answer is yes. Though sometimes the price the consumer pays isn't reflective of the true cost. Sometimes the public health system does buy/subsidize the machine for the provider and a private client isn't charged some chunk of the amortized cost of the machine because the public system (rightly) assumes that 99% of the work is going to be for their residents. The clinic can profitably just charge for their professional/office use. Here's a Bucharest Romania MRI clinic with tariffs: https://rmntineretului.ro/tarife/ https://rmntineretului.ro/tarife/ It's about 3 Lei to a USD, or US$200-US$500 for an MRI.
