1 An open MRI typically costs about the same as a conventional MRI, about $1,000-$5,000, depending on the parts of the body being examined.  An upright MRI allows patients to be scanned while standing or sitting, which can be helpful in diagnosing certain conditions.
In the United States, without insurance average MRI cost is $1500; however, costs can range from $400-$7000. Average MRI cost with insurance is around $200. Costs vary greatly per location. An MRI scan can be three to five times more expensive at one hospital or MRI facility than another.
