In Singapore, MRI scans are often essential for diagnosing joint, back, and nerve-related pain conditions. However, many patients worry about the high cost of private MRI scans, especially when facing long wait times at public hospitals.
To help patients find faster and more affordable options, SGDoctor.com has spotlighted providers offering value-based solutions — including The Pain Relief Clinic, a widely recommended choice for timely MRI scans and non-invasive pain relief.
What Patients Should Know About MRI Costs in Singapore
MRI costs in private settings typically range from $900 to $2,500, depending on the body region and facility.
Public hospitals offer subsidized scans, but many patients face wait times of weeks or more or require referrals.
Medisave may be used for certain MRI procedures (claimable up to $300–$600, subject to eligibility).
Some insurance plans cover outpatient MRI scans if medically indicated — patients are advised to check with their insurers.
