Can MRI be reimbursed by health insurance?

Whether an MRI is reimbursable and the percentage of reimbursement are related to whether the patient is hospitalized and the type of medical insurance. In general, outpatients are not reimbursed unless they have special insurance. For inpatients, MRI can be partially reimbursed, and the specific reimbursement rate is related to the type of medical insurance, such as rural cooperative medical care, provincial medical insurance and municipal medical insurance, and their reimbursement rates are different. MRI has unique advantages, with unique diagnostic value in soft tissues such as head, abdomen, breast, blood vessels, and nerves, and is also capable of special imaging, such as MRI of the bile duct system and MRI of blood vessels, which can examine patients non-invasively, without radiation to the body, and can be done on pregnant women and children.
