I can't link to anything, but I can offer my own personal experience of having to pay for 6 weeks of physical therapy before they would give me an MRI for my knee. I just opted to look up the routine online and rehab myself. I'd have gladly paid my MRI copay, but I'm not paying for PT without even knowing if I need it yet.
- trogdor 3y agoI use Radiology Assist for easy, self-pay imaging. You can look up the actual cost of whatever scan you are interested in, at a facility near you, on their website. A few days ago I scheduled a 3 Tesla knee MRI, on the exact day I wanted - next week. My total cost is $375, and that includes a report by a radiologist, and a copy of the MRI images. (I tore my ACL in March and opted for physical therapy instead of surgery. My knee feels like it’s at 100% and PT tests show no difference in performance between my knees. I’m interested in seeing the degree to which there has been healing, if at all. I self-paid for my initial MRI back in April as well. It would have been more expensive through insurance!)
