MRI pricing & insurance
One flat price, whether you're paying yourself or working with insurance.
$490 flat rate
- The MRI scan
- Interpretation by a board-certified radiologist (Premier Radiology Services)
- Report delivered to your provider
No add-on fees. No surprise bill. Self-pay and out-of-network friendly.
Payment is due at the time of your scan. $490 covers everything — the scan, the radiologist's interpretation, and the report to your provider.
We accept card, HSA, FSA, and cash.
Who self-pay is right for
Self-pay works well if you're uninsured, your plan doesn't cover imaging at Clarus, or you'd simply rather know your total cost upfront. With a high deductible, $490 self-pay is often less than your in-network cost — and you can pay with your HSA or FSA. Call and we can talk through your specific situation.
Accepted insurance
- Medicare

Self-pay is always available at $490 flat, regardless of your coverage.
Out-of-network claims
Clarus Imaging accepts self-pay patients and can help you pursue out-of-network reimbursement if your plan covers out-of-network services. Out-of-network providers generally can't submit claims on your behalf — you'll submit the claim yourself, using the information below.
Before your scan
Check your out-of-network benefits with your insurer, including:
- Your out-of-network benefits, if any
- Your out-of-network deductible, and whether you've met it
- The allowed amount for the service — ask your referring provider for the CPT code(s) to give your insurer
- Your out-of-network co-insurance (usually a percentage of the allowed amount)
After your scan
- Ask us for a superbill — a document detailing the service, with the diagnosis and procedure codes your insurer needs to reimburse you.
- Submit an out-of-network claim to your insurer, following their specific submission instructions.
Insurance plans that cover out-of-network services typically reimburse 50–80% of the cost, once you've met your deductible. Your insurer's Member Services line can confirm your plan's specifics.
