MSAA Merges MRI Programs into the MRI Access Fund.
The MRI Access Fund assists people who do not have adequate insurance coverage or the financial means necessary to acquire a cranial MRI. Through the MRI Access Fund MSAA will cover the remaining cost of a person’s co-insurance balanc OR pay for an MRI through contracted imaging centers for qualified candidates. Program applicants must meet income requirements, receive approval from MSAA prior to having an MRI (no reimbursements for previous MRIs), and cannot exceed one MSAA-funded MRI exam within a 24-month period.
