Any Walk-In MRI Places on the Northshore?

Doctor ordered a MRI for a lower back issue I have. Insurance won't cover it without 8 weeks of PT first. Was wondering if there are any places that you can pay cash for an MRI like a walk in clinic. Buddy of mine in Texas has a bunch that offer $175 MRIs. I'd much rather go this route than paying $1k+ trying to hit my insurance deductible.

Wow, that's high. I had a no contrast MRI done about three months ago through [link=(greenimaging.net)]Green Imaging[/link] that cost me $190. They have 77 locations in Louisiana that they can use. You submit the DR order to Green, and a scheduler will text you to find a location and a time near you.
Essentially, they fill in gaps in the schedule at MRI, ultrasound, etc., centers, which is why they're so cheap (the machine and tech would otherwise be idle.) At least in Houston, Keely is the scheduler that's worked with me for close to a decade through Green.

Yeesh, the Green Imaging location in Slidell and Covington are both $910
DIS in Covington $610
Confirmed Covington Trace ER $500
Avala imaging - $525
St Tammany Outpaitent - $897
May end up extending a work trip in Texas an extra day next month and just doing it over there

Holy cow! I've used them so many times over the last 15 years, I have the Houston scheduler's number saved as a contact in my phone. Memorial Hermann charged me $1,200 for an Ultrasound, and charged me $1,400 for the same thing 6 weeks later. I never paid above $150 when scheduling through Green.
