Usually the cash price covers the provider's professional fee and the in-office or facility fee. Anesthesia, pathology, and imaging are sometimes billed separately. Each MarketCare quote is collected by phone as an all-in cash price where the clinic offers one, so confirm exactly what's bundled with the front desk before you schedule.
Can I use HSA or FSA funds?+
MRI (Brain without Contrast) is a qualified medical expense, so HSA/FSA funds work at most clinics. Ask for an itemized receipt with the CPT code for your reimbursement paperwork.
Do I need a referral or insurance?+
No insurance is required. Every price here is a cash-pay rate, and most Austin cash-pay clinics on MarketCare take self-referrals. A few want a short intake or a quick consult visit first, so call the provider to confirm.
Why is cash-pay often cheaper than using insurance?+
Cash-pay rates skip claim coding, prior authorization, and facility markups, so they often run 40–70% below the insured rate for the same procedure. If you're close to hitting your deductible, running it through insurance may still be cheaper overall.
