Don’t Overpay for Quality Care; Use the Most Affordable MRI in Raleigh, NC

Avoid Paying Too Much for Your MRI Without Compromising Quality

Did you know that the same MRI test can cost three times more depending on where you go? 

Don’t depend upon insurance. It won’t always send you to the most affordable option.

Hospitals? They often add HUGE facility fees.

The good news?

You can save hundreds–or even thousands—of dollars.

How? You have the freedom to choose where you receive care. 

Why not select the best and most affordable option?

A Closer Look at the Numbers: The Price of an MRI in Raleigh

There is a huge range of MRI prices

For example, in Raleigh, an MRI can cost:

  • Up to $3,000 at hospitals
  • As much as $1,000 at imaging centers

But at The Bone & Joint Surgery Clinic, those with major insurance plans pay a lot less.

Take a closer look at the numbers. 

Our typical allowed amounts are:

  • Knee MRI (without contrast), ranging in the middle $500s
  • Shoulder MRI, the middle $500s
  • Spine MRIs vary, depending on the complexity of the situation

But what if you have a high-deductible plan?

Don’t worry. With The Bone & Joint Surgery Clinic, you’ll pay much less out-of-pocket than you would at a hospital-based imaging center.

Why Choose The Bone & Joint Surgery Clinic?

Many believe that hospital imaging or standalone imaging centers are their only choices. 

You have another option. One that’s much more affordable.
