Thanks
Hi Igora, I contacted VHI and was told that they do not cover scans unless they are part of the diagnostic procedure used during hospitalisation.
ClubMan said:I know somebody who had to get an MRI scan in an emergency through a private clinic and it cost about IR£1,000 about five years ago. They wouldn't take a credit card and insisted that he go to the ATM around the corner and get cash before they would do it.

I've had an MRI in a tunnel style scanner and it didn't bother me at all, but my father-in-law had one and sufferred a heart attack inside - so definitely anyone who is in any way claustrophobic should be cautious.ClubMan said:The one that I mentioned was in one of those tunnel style scanners and the person in question, who is not notmally queasy about this sort of thing, found it very uncomfortable.[/color]
