What a full-body MRI finds, and what the guidelines say

Do you need a referral for an MRI in Orlando?

In Orlando, as everywhere in Florida, an MRI needs an order from a licensed clinician, but not necessarily a referral from your own doctor. The American College of Radiology standard says the request “must be originated by a physician or other appropriately licensed health care provider.” 17 If you use insurance, Florida Blue requires prior authorization before an MRI in an outpatient hospital or office 20, and Medicare pays only when the physician treating you orders the test. 19 If you pay yourself, self-pay centers and full-body MRI clinics can have their own physician review the request and write the order; Prenuvo, for one, says “For US clinics, we do not require a referral.” 18

How can you pay less for an MRI in Orlando?

The biggest saving on an MRI in Orlando comes from booking a freestanding imaging center rather than a hospital outpatient department: hospital outpatient imaging prices run 2 to 4 times physician-office prices nationally 15, and Florida Blue tells members an MRI “will generally cost you less” at a freestanding center. 16 If you are paying without insurance, ask for a good faith estimate, which providers usually must give if you request one or book at least 3 business days ahead 22; if the bill comes in at least $400 above it, you can dispute it. 23 Florida hospitals must also give a written estimate within 3 business days of a request 21, and the state’s Florida Health Price Finder shows what insurers actually paid, by county. 24
