Patients with Minnesota health insurance will pay a copay of between $211 to $898. This is 25 percent of the cost for the MRI scanning procedure. Patients must ensure that the radiologists are also part of their network to avoid any additional fees. Otherwise, they will have to pay full price. If you don’t have a yearly insurance deductible, your coverage will not kick in until you meet the minimum.
