Costs of a MRT examination
As soon as the performance of an MRI is medically necessary (indication), all costs incurred are covered. This applies to patients with statutory health insurance as well as to private patients. If the attending physician does not see a medical necessity for the performance of an MRI examination, but the patient still wishes to have a magnetic resonance imaging, the patient must pay the costs for this examination himself.
The amount of the costs incurred depends on the type of MRI. An MRI of the knee joint, for example, costs about 500 – 600 euros. The costs for an MRI of the skull or spine, on the other hand, are usually higher. The costs vary within the facilities and the MRI performed ́s.
