10x is for specific body parts, largely due to the (predatory) disfunction of our health care insurance and for-profit care system. Even the x-ray I was required to have before an MRI, due to plate in my arm, was billed higher than your MRI. With that said, there are also private parties (e.g. not through health care provider) that offer full-body MRIs for only a grand or two; well, at least there were a decade or so, when we got one for my FIL.

Strangely, my doctor's referral was to the hospital not the imaging center so per my insurance that is where I had to go. My insurance and the doctor's practice and the hospital they sent me to were all owned by the same huge health organization... Hmmm.
