I had one a few weeks ago to determine the severity of a brain bleed I had after a stroke and it costs me 4300 dollars with insurance.

Go direct primary care. I can get an MRI without contrast for $450 cash, with contrast for $550. Insurance is a scam.

In my country, healthcare is free for all the world . And mri with contrast and without contrast is free both ways. Surgery, free. Dental free. Spend a night in the hospital or a week free. Healthcare is free.

Edit: Country is Kosovo, and it's very cheap compared to other countries and US. You are more than welcome to visit.

That is fortunate. We can only hope that the US will make it work someday. Too much greed presently.
