Why Northern Kentucky and Cincinnati Patients Choose Aptiva Health Imaging for MRI
The major Cincinnati hospital systems (UC Health, TriHealth, Mercy Health, Christ Hospital, St. Elizabeth) price MRI scans well above $1,000 — and often above $2,500 — when facility fees and separate radiologist bills are included. Aptiva Health offers the same 1.5T MRI for $350, fully inclusive of the radiologist report, just minutes across the river or down I-275.
For Cincinnati patients on the west side, Price Hill, Western Hills, downtown, Mt. Adams, and Hyde Park, the Hebron office is often closer than going to a Cincinnati hospital system — and far less expensive.
