Medserena accepts referrals for most medical conditions where an MRI scan is indicated or for reassurance purposes. You can use the online booking form to make an appointment and you’ll have the option to upload your referral letter. All bookings and referral letters are reviewed (triaged) by our clinical lead before your appointment.
All patients are required to complete a safety questionnaire and informed consent just prior to their scan. On occasion, this may exclude proceeding with the scan if your circumstances have changed since completing the booking form. All reports and images will be supplied directly to your referrer. Radiologist reports are emailed normally within 3 to 5 days.
Referrals are accepted on a private medical insured, self-pay or authorised invoice basis (such as from the NHS). For private medical insured and self-pay patients, an £80 deposit towards the price of the scan is required to secure your booking. The balance of the price of the scan for self-pay will be due at the appointment and for private medical insured the booking deposit will be refunded at your appointment.
Medserena accepts self-referrals for most medical conditions where an MRI scan is indicated or for reassurance purposes. We cannot accept self-referrals for monitoring known malignant disease or for any scans requiring contrast agent enhancement.
You can use the online booking form to make an appointment and all booking requests are reviewed (triaged) by our clinical lead before your appointment.
Self-referrals are accepted solely on a self-pay basis. An £80 deposit towards the price of the scan is required to secure your booking with the balance of the price of the scan due at your appointment.

If your product is services, the Consumer Rights Act 2015 says:
The price for the Scan will be the price stipulated in the Medserena price list published from time to time.
Any outstanding self-pay payment for the Scan must be paid in full on the day of the appointment and Medserena are not bound to deliver a scan report until paid for by the customer.
Some MRI scans similar to ours may be available for free at your local NHS facility.
Where to find the price for the Scan. The price of the Scan is displayed throughout our website and will be the price indicated on the booking form when you made your booking. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the price of the Scan advised to you is correct.
We will pass on changes in the rate of VAT. If the rate of VAT changes between your booking date and the date we supply the Scan, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay, unless you have already paid for the Scan in full before the change in the rate of VAT takes effect.
What happens if we got the price wrong. It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, some of the Scans we provide may be incorrectly priced. We will normally check prices before accepting your booking so that, where the Scan's correct price at your booking date is less than our stated price at your booking date, we will charge the lower amount. If the product's correct price at your booking date is higher than the price stated [in our price list], we will contact you for your instructions before we accept your booking. If we accept and process your booking where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may end the contract and refund you any sums you have paid.
We are responsible to you for foreseeable loss and damage caused by us. If we fail to comply with these terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking this contract or our failing to use reasonable care and skill, but we are not responsible for any loss or damage that is not foreseeable. Loss or damage is foreseeable if either it is obvious that it will happen or if, at the time the contract was made, both we and you knew it might happen, for example, if you discussed it with us during the booking process.
We are not liable for business losses or failure to act on the contents of a scan or advice. We only supply the services for personal use. If you use the services for any commercial, business or re-sale purpose we will have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.
