Prenuvo Scan Cost: Prices With & Without Insurance

Prenuvo is a private imaging company that sells whole body MRI scans directly to consumers. You book the scan yourself, pay the company, and receive a report. A doctor does not have to order it, which is one reason the pricing looks more like a retail menu than a hospital bill.

What you pay depends mostly on three choices: how much of the body is scanned, whether you add extra assessments, and whether you buy a single scan or an annual membership. The tables and sections below follow Prenuvo's own published pricing, so it is worth confirming the current numbers on the company's site before you book.

A standalone scan is the simplest way to buy. Prenuvo offers a longer whole body scan, which runs about 60 minutes, and a shorter focused scan of about 30 minutes. The whole body option costs $2,499 and the focused option costs $1,199.

The focused scan sits at the low end of the published range and the whole body scan at the high end, so scan type is the biggest choice you control.

Prices are shown per person. Check whether the quote you receive includes the radiologist's report and any follow-up questions, since those details can differ by clinic and by package.

Prenuvo also sells assessments that you can attach to a scan. These are priced on top of the scan itself, so they change your total quickly.

In list form, the published add-ons are:

• Brain Health Assessment: $799
• Heart Health Assessment: $799
• Body Composition Analysis: $499

Someone who adds two assessments to a whole body scan can end up well above the base price. Ask the booking team to write out the full total before you pay, including every add-on you selected.

Prenuvo also sells annual memberships that bundle a scan with lab work. Core and Comprehensive memberships are priced at the same level as the matching standalone scan, while Executive memberships cost more and vary by city.

• Core Membership (focused scan plus labs): $1,199/yr
• Comprehensive Membership (whole body scan plus labs): $2,499/yr
• Executive Membership, starting price: $3,999/yr
• Executive Membership in New York City: $4,999/yr
• Executive Membership in Los Angeles, Chicago and other major clinics: $4,499/yr

The Executive tier shows how much location can matter. The same membership level costs more in New York City than it does at Prenuvo's other major clinics, and the starting price may apply to other locations. Confirm your clinic's price before booking.

A membership can make sense on paper if you already plan to repeat testing, because labs are part of the package. Whether repeat scanning is right for you is a medical question. Talk to your own doctor about it rather than relying on a sales page.

Outside sources may simply repeat Prenuvo's published numbers, which is why the same range can appear across the web.

Where an article quotes a figure that does not match the table above, a few things may explain it:

• The article may describe an older price list. Prenuvo's prices can change, and a page written months ago may be out of date.
• The writer may have combined a scan with an add-on or a membership and reported the total as a single price.
• A figure for one clinic or city may be presented as if it applied everywhere.
• Some write-ups quote only the lowest or highest scan and skip the other.

When two numbers disagree, trust the company's current booking page, and ask for the quote in writing.

Prenuvo sells these scans directly to consumers, and the pricing above is what the company lists for self-pay customers. Insurance coverage for a scan ordered without a doctor's referral is not something we can promise, and you should not assume a plan will reimburse it.

The practical steps are simple:

• Call your insurer and ask whether a self-referred whole body MRI is covered, and under which billing codes.
• Ask whether an HSA or FSA can be used. Eligibility depends on your plan administrator's rules, so get the answer from them.
• If your doctor recommends imaging for a specific reason, ask whether a medically ordered MRI at a hospital or imaging center is billed differently from a consumer scan.

Whether you need a scan at all is a decision for you and a licensed physician. This page covers prices, not medical advice.

A few questions make the final bill easier to predict:

1. What is the full out-the-door total for the exact scan and add-ons I want?
2. Does the price include the radiologist's written report and any consultation about the results?
3. Is there a cancellation or rescheduling fee?
4. If I choose a membership, what happens if I want to skip a year?
5. Which clinic location is nearest, and does the membership price change there?

Keep the written quote. If the amount charged later differs from it, you have something to point to.
