The reimbursement for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is provided only for examinations conducted at the contracted facility, Mehiläinen.

***After the examination, please make arrangements with Mehiläinen on how and where they will send you the MRI report (you will receive the images on a CD).

If you have not yet scheduled an appointment with a treating physician at Terveystalo, please do so.

 Before contacting the treating physician at Terveystalo, ensure that both the MRI report and the CD with the images are available to the physician at your occupational health services.

*If you return to the referring physician for a follow-up appointment, make sure to bring the report and the CD with you to the doctor's office. If you have a phone appointment scheduled at Terveystalo to receive the results, submit the MRI report and CD to the Terveystalo location where the phone appointment is scheduled on the previous day. Ask your occupational health services to provide you with the correct location and schedule.*

If the visit turns out to be unnecessary because you did not have the necessary materials with you or they were not delivered to Terveystalo, you will be responsible for paying the visit yourself.

If you undergo an MRI examination elsewhere, including Terveystalo, you will have to cover the cost yourself.
