A member asked:
When it comes to costs, is a 3t mri far more expensive than a standard 1.5t mri? will insurance usually cover the 3t mri? i am considering a 3t mri of the pituitary gland?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Although I am not familiar with local costs, usually the 3T is more expensive. However, insurance may cover if your doctor submits a pre-authorization request detailing need for the more sophisticated equipment. Good luck.
