Need a Clinical Referral for your MRI Scan?
You can still book your MRI scan with Medserena.
If you do not currently have a clinical referral, we can arrange a video or telephone consultation with Duality, an independent private GP service. If the GP determines that imaging is clinically appropriate, Duality will send the clinical referral letter directly to you, so that you can proceed with the scan booking. The consultation fee is £49 and will be deducted from the self-pay cost of your scan, meaning there is no additional cost.
