How Do These Prices Compare?

Private MRI pricing in the UK varies a lot between providers. Here's a rough comparison for common scans:

Scan Typical UK Range Lola Health
Knee MRI £350-£700 £275
Brain MRI £400-£900 £275
Cardiac MRI £500-£1,200 £349
Full Body MRI £1,500-£3,500 From £1,399

We keep prices lower by working with a network of 150+ centres, which means volume. We pass the savings on rather than pocketing them.

We're also the only UK provider that integrates MRI with blood testing — so you can get a proper health MOT without paying two separate companies.

Payment and Insurance

Can I pay in instalments?

Contact our team to discuss payment options for higher-value packages.

Can I claim on health insurance?

Some private health insurance policies cover MRI scans. Check with your insurer before booking. We can provide receipts and clinical documentation for your claim.

Do prices change by location?

Prices may vary slightly between centres. You'll see the exact price for your chosen location when you book.

Is a Full Body MRI Better Value Than Individual Scans?

If you want broad screening, yes — significantly. The Full Body Base (£1,399) covers brain, spine, chest, abdomen, and pelvis. Booking those five areas individually would cost roughly £1,375-£1,500 depending on the centre, and you'd need separate appointments. The full body package does it in one session.

If you have one specific concern — a dodgy knee, a persistent headache — an individual scan is the right choice.

Common Questions

Why are private MRI scans expensive?

MRI machines cost £1-3 million. Running them requires specialist radiographers, and every scan is reported by a consultant radiologist. The cost reflects real clinical expertise and expensive equipment. That said, Lola Health's prices are below the UK average for most scan types.

Are there any hidden costs?

No. The price you see includes the scan, radiologist report, and follow-up consultation.

Do I need a GP referral?

No. Book directly through Lola Health. Every booking is reviewed.

How quickly can I get an appointment?

Most people book within a few days. Compare that to 8-20+ weeks for an NHS MRI.
