First Time MRI Scan: Price in the Philippines

Are you thinking about cancer? Do not worry because MRI scan does not necessarily mean that you have a disease. Your doctor simply wants to see what’s causing your symptoms.

I like this test

What I like this medical test is that you are simply going to relax. I had this diagnostics twice for my shoulder and lumbar spine.

Both of which I only needed to lie down and listen to the music on my headphone.

My Experience

It is a little bit tiring to be steady inside the tube for more than 30 minutes. But I need to do it so that the images are clear. The staff provided me the earphones so we can communicate and so that I will not hear the loud noise.

Price of MRI

Usually, the plain scan’s average cost is ₱4,000 while the more advanced “with contrast” can reach up to ₱12,000. The cheapest is ₱4,500 for the head as a charity rate. The body part involved in the test predicts the price of the MRI.

How is it Done?

Cheapest price?

I have note scouted all the hospitals in the Metro but when I had it at Iscan, I was charged about Php 5,800 and Php 7,000 respectively.

Best MRI Hospitals

St. Luke’s Medical Center

We selected this hospital because of its proximity. It has at least two branches which can make it accessible to both North and South Metro Manila patients.

The hospital also employs some of the latest equipment in MRI scanning, giving you peace of mind with accurate results.

IScan Diagnostics

Also in QC, this center has one of the cheapest rates compared to hospitals. My neurologist recommended this clinic for me to undergo a cranial scan. The facility is quite small but you can easily park in the side streets. This is where I had my test.

Makati Medical Center

The hospital has various MRI types based on the patient’s body part requirement. Their machines can generate detailed images to detect early cancer signs. They also have one of the cheapest rates considering that it is a premier hospital in Makati.

Capitol Medical Center

We included this hospital because of its flexibility in schedules. The MRI department can accept patients from Monday to Saturday, perfect for those who work on weekdays. The operating hours is from 8AM to 8PM which is ideal for busy people.

  Tanging ang doktor lang ang pwedeng mag-evaluate sa kung ano talaga ang nangyari sa iyo. Una, pwede ka niya i-undergo ng physical exam at tanungin kung ano ang history ng iyong disability. Hindi kaagad nirerekomenda ang MRI scan kung walang makitang dahilan ang iyong doktor na gawin ito. Mas mabuting kumonsulta muna sa doktor at siya ang madedesisyon kung anong test ang kailangan.

  Hi, ang doctor lang ang pwedeng mag-evaluate kung kailangan ng sedation para sa MRI scanning. Kailangan muna niyang malaman ang lagay ng psyente bago ang test.

  Ang MRI para sa babies ay madalas na mas mahal kaysa ordinary patient MRI. Kung ito ay may sedation, may additional cost din. Itanong sa iyong preferred hospital kung magkano and exact price ng package.
