The cost of a whole body MRI scan is a common concern for many people considering this proactive health screening. While it’s an investment in your well-being, it’s important to understand the factors that influence the price and how Bionicc Body Screening in Metro Detroit provides value that goes beyond the dollar amount.
Factors Affecting Whole Body MRI Costs:
Age of the MRI Machine: MRI has been around for a long while and there are plenty of facilities with older equipment. Older machines offer lower quality imaging and are much less comfortable with smaller openings. Bionicc Body Screening has an MRI machine called a Siemens Magnetom Aera 1.5T, which is a wide-bore open MRI. This means that it is open on both ends of the tube and has a larger diameter than traditional MRI machines. It offers more shoulder room and gives more space between your face and the ceiling of the MRI. It can accommodate individuals up to 550 pounds, which gives most patients a more comfortable screening experience.
Contrast Dye: A dedicated MRI that is ordered by a physician to evaluate specific areas like a shoulder, knee or ankle may require a contrast dye to enhance the visibility of certain tissues and structures. Dye adds to the overall cost of a diagnostic MRI. However, a whole body MRI is a screening — not a dedicated MRI — and does NOT use dye. This makes the whole body MRI non-invasive and safe. As a bonus, MRI has ZERO radiation.
Additional Imaging or Tests: Sometimes, additional imaging or tests may be recommended based on your individual health history or findings during the scan. Bionicc Body Screening recommends that individuals speak with their own physician to determine the best course of action when scans reveal abnormalities. If your physician requires additional testing, then insurance companies should help offset costs due to the abnormal findings. Bionicc Body Screening will never suggest additional imaging through our own facility, as it creates a conflict of interest. There are no hidden fees, upcharges or additional costs when getting a whole body screening at our facility.
Location and Clinic Reputation: The location of the clinic and its reputation for quality and expertise can also play a role in pricing. Bionicc Body Screening is Michigan’s first MRI full body screening center conveniently located in Southfield. The late Dr. Ringold founded Bionicc Body Screening with a mission that was both professional and deeply personal. He was a warrior in his battle against cancer, a journey marked by rugged treatments and cruel side effects due to late detection after symptoms had already surfaced. Despite putting his cancer into remission twice, even when it returned as a formidable brain tumor, he ultimately passed away from complications with pneumonia.
In his final days, he held fast to one dying dream: that Bionicc Body Screening would stand as a beacon for prevention, protection, and peace of mind, sparing others from the arduous path he walked. He envisioned a world where individuals wouldn’t wait for illness to dictate their life story; they would take control, armed with the insights and power that only proactive health measures can provide.
Average Cost of Full Body MRI in Michigan:
Bionicc Body Screening is the first full body MRI screening center in Michigan. The cost of a full body MRI in Michigan can vary depending on the factors mentioned above. On average, you can expect to pay anywhere from $1000 to $3000 or more for a comprehensive scan depending on the what areas you are getting screened. For example, Bionicc Body Screening offers three different packages: Head and Neck, Torso, and Full Body and the fees vary.
