Quality you can count on
A good MRI depends on two things: clear images and a careful reading of those images.
At Millenium MRI, every scan is done by ARRT-certified technologists. They position you, choose the right settings for the body part being scanned, and help you stay comfortable so the pictures come out clear.
Every scan is then read by a board-certified radiologist. A radiologist is a doctor trained to read medical images. The radiologist looks at your images, writes a report, and sends it to your doctor. You can meet the team on our Our Radiologists page.
MRI shows soft tissue in detail. That makes it useful for looking at the brain, spine, joints, muscles, ligaments, and many organs. Your doctor decides which exam you need. To learn how MRI works, read how does an MRI work.
Same-day appointments and quick results
Waiting weeks for an MRI can delay your care. At the Largo center, same-day appointments are often available. Your chances are best when you call early in the day and, if you're using insurance, your doctor's order is already sent.
After your scan, results are usually sent to your referring doctor within 24 hours. That can help your doctor plan your next steps sooner.
Affordable MRI options
MRI costs can vary a lot depending on where you go and how you pay. Because Millenium MRI is an outpatient imaging center with lower overhead, our costs are often lower than hospital imaging.
You can pay in several ways:
Insurance: we accept most insurance plans
Self-pay: a good option to ask about if you have no insurance or a high deductible
Workers' compensation: for on-the-job injuries
Personal injury: for patients hurt in a car accident or other injury case
Self-pay MRI scans at the Largo center are $300 per scan, and no referral is needed. If you are comparing options, read cash-pay MRI near me.
How to book your MRI in Largo
Using insurance? Get an order from your doctor. Ask the office to send it to Millenium MRI. Paying cash? No referral is needed, so you can skip this step.
Call (727) 683-6501. Calling early in the day helps if you want a same-day time.
Tell us how you will pay. Insurance, self-pay, workers' compensation, or personal injury.
Answer the safety questions. Staff will ask about metal, implants, devices, and past surgeries.
Some insurance plans must approve an MRI before it is done. If yours does, that step can affect when you are scanned.
How to prepare
Wear comfortable clothes with no metal, such as zippers, snaps, or underwire.
Leave jewelry, watches, and hair clips at home.
Bring a photo ID, your insurance card if you have one, and a list of your medicines.
Bring cards for any implants or medical devices.
Eat and take your usual medicines unless you are told otherwise.
What to expect during your scan
When you arrive, staff check you in and go over your safety form. A technologist brings you to the scan room and helps you lie on a padded table. A lightweight frame, called a coil, may be placed around the body part being scanned.
The scan does not hurt, but it is loud. You will get earplugs or headphones. The technologist can see and talk with you the whole time. Your job is to lie as still as you can.
Most patients are in and out in about 35 minutes. If small spaces make you nervous, tell the team ahead of time and read our tips on how to overcome claustrophobia during an MRI.
MRI after a car accident or work injury
If you were hurt in a car accident or on the job, your doctor may order an MRI to look for injuries to the spine, discs, joints, or soft tissue that an X-ray may not show. Millenium MRI accepts personal injury cases and workers' compensation.
When you call, let staff know if your scan is part of an injury case. Have your claim number or your attorney's contact details ready, if you have them. If you have questions about your claim, talk with your attorney. To learn more about imaging after a crash, read the importance of MRI scans after a car accident.
