Why can an MRI bill still be high after insurance?

MRI bills can stay high because of deductible, coinsurance, separate facility and radiologist billing, out-of-network processing, or because the provider bill does not clearly show how the charge was split.

Can an MRI create more than one bill?

Yes. The imaging facility and the radiologist who interprets the MRI may bill separately, which is one reason the total can feel higher than expected.

MRI Bill Too High After Insurance? What to Check Before You Pay

If your MRI bill is too high after insurance, compare the MRI bill with your EOB before you pay. MRI balances can stay high because of deductible, coinsurance, separate facility and radiology charges, out-of-network processing, or unclear billing detail.
