Can You Claim MRI Through Medicare? 
If the MRI is medically necessary -LRB- ordered by your doctor -RRB- , then Medicare would cover the examination . Please note , original Medicare -LRB- Parts A & B -RRB- does not cover it at 100 % -LRB- it only covers about 80 % of healthcare expenses -RRB- , you would be responsible for the remaining balance after Medicare pays their share . If you have n't done so already , you can add a Medigap plan to cover all or a portion of the other 20 % . I hope the information is helpful - please feel free to contact me for assistance with your program and if you have any further questions . Thanks very much .
