The MRI scan is an imaging test that allows physicians to assess a patientâs spinal anatomy and investigate an anatomical cause of the patientâs back pain. The physician will correlate the findings on the MRI scan with the patientâs signs and symptoms of back pain in order to arrive at a clinical diagnosis.
Comments (1) Typical costs: Without health insurance, crutches typically cost $15 to $40 for basic axillary crutches -- the most common type that fit under the arms -- in wood or aluminum; or $40 to $100 or more for deluxe forearm crutches and folding crutches, typically made of metal; or $450 or more for a hands-free crutch.
I have seen CVS selling crutches before, usually the metal adjustable ones. However, people usually end up getting crutches from the doctorâs office or the hospital. The cost of the crutches are usually covered in the payment the physician or hospital receives for the procedure/injury from the insurance company. Obviously, if you buy them at CVS, the cost will not be covered.
