I had one a few weeks ago to determine the severity of a brain bleed I had after a stroke and it costs me 4300 dollars with insurance.

I got one two years ago to check for a tumor, with NO insurance, and it was $400. I asked what it would’ve cost me if I had insurance, and they said it would depend, but somewhere around $3-4k.

The only reason I have health insurance now is my workplace covers 100% of it
