Common questions
Do I need a referral?
You don’t need a GP referral to book with OneMRI, you can go direct. If you’ve got questions, we’re here to help. Just click the free consult button to chat with our team.
What does a scan include?
Your scan includes: the comprehensive full-body MRI scan itself, a radiologist-reviewed report, and a follow-up consult with a doctor who explains your results.
Can I have the scan every year?
Our scans are radiation-free and contrast-free. MRI uses magnetic fields, not ionising radiation, so having a scan each year does not add to your radiation exposure. Many people use it as a health baseline and check what changes over time.
How long does it take?
The scan takes 45–60 minutes. The full clinic visit may take a little longer, depending on your location and schedule.
Can I claim it on private health insurance?
Most private insurers do not currently cover preventive MRI scans. Check with your provider.
During the scan
Is it noisy or enclosed?
MRI machines can be a little noisy, and some are enclosed. We’ll walk you through it and provide earplugs or headphones.
Will I feel anything?
No. The scan is non-invasive. Most people feel nothing during the scan.
Is it safe if I have implants or devices?
Let us know ahead of time, some implants may not be MRI-compatible.
