There are a couple of sources you can use to find out how much Medicare will pay for a procedure such as an MRI (magnetic resonance imaging). A good starting point is healthcarebluebook dot com and search for MRI (or any other procedure). Another is to "Google" Medicare DRG rates or Medicare payment schedule.

Yes, as long as it is for an approved health problem and deemed medically necessary. This would be covered under Medicare Part B and will be paid at 80% of the approved amount. Medicare pays for any Medically necessary testing, such as blood work, X Rays, Cat Scans, and a lot of other issues. Some preventative tests are covered at 100%
