$600 for an MRI. Where? Where?

Antidote to Obamacare? Competitive Market-Based
Medicine. In June of 2013, I posted on CD about the $600 all-inclusive
flat-rate for any MRI scan at the Milwaukee-based Smart Choice MRI. At the time, I mentioned that the $600
price hadn’t changed in at least six years, and it’s now more than two year[s] later and the price is still $600 for the cost of the scan and the cost to
have your scan read by expert radiologists at the Cleveland Clinic. The
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel is reporting today that Smart Choice MRI has raised
$6.5 million from investors [my emphasis] and is set to open four imaging centers in the
Chicago market and will be the company’s first expansion outside Wisconsin. The
price? Still $600, compared to comparable MRI exams performed at hospitals
using the exact same technology at an average cost of up to $3,000.
Need an appointment? Any of the six Milwaukee locations can schedule your MRI as early as this Thursday!
