MRI in Ketchum, ID

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is an imaging test that uses a strong magnetic field and radio waves to create detailed pictures of organs, joints, and soft tissues. MRI does not use ionizing radiation (unlike X-ray or CT). It is often used to evaluate the brain and spine, joint injuries (knee, shoulder), abdominal organs, and certain blood vessels when MR angiography is ordered. Your total out-of-pocket cost can vary depending on whether contrast is used, which body area is scanned, whether multiple sequences are billed separately, and whether professional fees (radiologist interpretation) are billed in addition to facility fees. Hospitals may publish component prices in their machine-readable files, so a single code can sometimes represent only part of a complete exam. Use the city pages to browse hospitals, and use the MRI pages to find MRI-related codes with published prices. Always ask the hospital for a written Good Faith Estimate before scheduling to confirm what is included.
