Hi again Rick. I actually had help with my MRI with an agency in the hospital. There is help available if you search for it. There are patient advocacy groups in communities. I also had much of my first spinal fusion paid for by asking the doctor to come down on price. Some neurologists will do the same if they know you don't have insurance. While you are young, you should look into getting insurance. The older you are the harder it is to get. ginnie
