I had to get a head MRI this year as well through insurance. They billed 2500$ that all went towards my deductible. In the past without insurance I was able to negotiate down a spine MRI from 2000$ to 500$ if I paid on the spot. Do with that what you want... But essentially we are being forced to pay higher prices with insurance. Absolute scam.
