Breast MRI cost in Alberta
Self-pay prices published by private clinics in Alberta, each shown in the currency the clinic charges, with the rule it is priced by and the document it came from. Figures are transcribed from primary sources; none is estimated.
Match the prices to your scan
Knee and shoulder = 2. Some clinics charge per part, so the cheapest for one is not the cheapest for two.Worth changing: some clinics charge one flat fee no matter how many parts you scan, others add a fee for each one — so the cheapest clinic for a single scan is often not the cheapest for two.
Diagnostic imaging
Cheapest first. Figures that are not firm rank last.Ordered by price, with one exception: a clinic whose figure is not firm can never appear above one whose figure is.

Each clinic link goes to that clinic’s own website. None is a paid placement, and nothing on this site takes a booking or a payment — you deal with the clinic directly. Where a clinic publishes no website we hold, the row carries no link rather than a control that goes nowhere.
Discounts are listed beside the price, never inside it. A figure reduced by an eligibility-restricted discount would reorder this table against clinics that publish no discount at all.
Legal status in Alberta
Alberta changed the rules on 2026-07-31. An Order in Council amending the Health Care Insurance Act permits self-referred private-pay diagnostic imaging, so a physician requisition is no longer required as a matter of law, and the provincial plan does not pay for an MRI performed outside a hospital. In practice, that route is not yet open. As of 2026-08-09, every Alberta operator whose published material we have checked still asks for a requisition: EFW Radiology lists its participation as under review and states it is not accepting self-referred bookings; MIC Medical Imaging posted on 2026-07-27 that it is not offering self-referral; Insight Medical Imaging states that it continues to require a requisition and has published no start date. Treat the change as a change in the law rather than a change in what you can arrange today, and ask the clinic what it requires before you count on going without a requisition.
