How much do you think a hamster MRI costs?

My last MRI they billed ~$70. No insurance involved, a plain straight "you walk in from the street, you pay this" price.

Couldn't you save a lot of money by scanning a few dozen at the same time?

[–] Jax@sh.itjust.works 4 points 5 months ago

I had both my knees done, I think it was AUD$400 because it was GP not specialist referred. Probably one of the more expensive things you can get done in this country, but I'm thankful it was only that much hearing from the yanks.

If this is an American hamster, I hope it's got a decent job with good health insurance.
