When it comes to your health time matters, and waiting for NHS referrals can be frustrating. That’s why more people are turning to private clinics for faster access to diagnostic scans. But one of the most common questions we hear is: how much does an MRI scan cost in Birmingham?

How Much Does a Private MRI Scan Cost?

At Heath Lodge Clinic, prices for private MRI scans vary depending on the area being scanned and the complexity of your case. You’ll always receive a clear, upfront price before your appointment is confirmed with no hidden fees or unexpected extras.

Factors that may affect your scan cost include:

  • Number of body areas scanned
  • Whether a contrast agent is needed
  • Consultation or reporting by a specialist radiologist
  • Any additional follow-up or onward referral

We aim to keep pricing simple and transparent, so you can make informed decisions about your healthcare.

Why Choose a Private MRI Scan?

  • No GP referral needed (self-referral available for most cases)
  • Short waiting times – often same week appointments
  • State-of-the-art scanners, including 1.5T and 3T MRI
  • Expert radiologists with years of diagnostic experience
  • Detailed reports will be shared with you and your healthcare provider

Whether you’re experiencing back pain, sports injuries, or just need peace of mind, an MRI scan can provide fast, accurate answers.

What’s Included in the Cost?

When you book with Heath Lodge Clinic, your MRI scan fee covers:

  • A pre-scan review of your symptoms (if needed)
  • The MRI scan using our advanced imaging equipment
  • A detailed radiologist’s report, typically within 48 hours
  • Secure sharing of results with your GP or specialist

If your scan requires a contrast injection or if multiple areas are scanned in one session, we’ll discuss any additional charges beforehand.
