Prenuvo sells scans two ways: standalone, from $1,199 for the Focused Scan to roughly $2,499 for whole body, or inside an annual membership from $1,199 to $3,999.
The cost that people do not budget for sits downstream. Whole-body MRI in asymptomatic adults produces a meaningful rate of findings that are benign but still warrant follow-up, and that workup happens at an outside facility on its own bill. This page prices both halves. Ezra is priced the same way in is Ezra worth it.
The Verdict
Public litigation
Prenuvo faces an open medical malpractice / negligence suit in New York (filed September 2024) alleging a radiologist missed stroke-related findings on a whole-body MRI. These are allegations, not findings — Washington Post.
Prenuvo cost — line by line
The first two rows are the advertised price. The rows below them are the ones that determine what a scan actually costs you.
| Line item | Cost |
|---|---|
| Focused Scan (head to mid-thigh, ~30 min) | ~$1,199 |
| Whole-body scan (head, neck, spine, torso) | ~$2,499 |
| Optional add-ons (heart-specific, expanded imaging) | Variable per location |
| Radiologist reading and written report | Included in scan price |
| Travel to a Prenuvo location | Not included — real cost outside covered metros |
| Follow-up imaging (if findings warrant) | Insurance-billed at an outside radiology facility |
| Biopsy or specialist consult after a finding | Billed separately, often through insurance |
| Repeat scan (if you follow the annual cadence) | Full price again standalone, or the annual membership fee |
| Realistic year-one out-of-pocket (single whole-body scan) | $2,499–$3,000+ with any follow-up |
| Year-two cost (annual repeat) | ~$2,499 standalone, or $0 if you do not repeat; a membership bills its annual fee again |
What Year Two Costs On A Membership Versus A Standalone Scan
Prenuvo sells both an annual membership and standalone scans, and the two options handle year-two pricing in completely different ways. There are three membership tiers, and the prices below were checked in October 2026. These annual memberships bundle imaging with blood work and Results Reviews. Standalone scans cover imaging alone.
| Membership | Annual price | What the year buys |
|---|---|---|
| Core | $1,199/yr | Focused Scan, Core Panel lab assessment, one Prenuvo Results Review |
| Comprehensive | $2,499/yr | Whole Body Scan, Comprehensive Panel +, an initial Results Review and a second after six-month repeat labs |
| Executive | From $3,999/yr | Whole Body Scan, Body Composition Analysis, Advanced Brain Health Scan, Advanced Heart Health Scan where available, Executive Panel plus a Comprehensive Panel at six months, an extended Results Review and a second after repeat labs |
Prenuvo labels the $2,499 Comprehensive membership its most popular option and the Executive tier its best value. Prenuvo offers monthly financing on every tier. Monthly payments start at $108.22 for Core, $225.56 for Comprehensive, and $360.94 for Executive. Standalone scans remain available for a single session. The standalone menu runs from a $499 Body Composition Analysis to the $1,199 Focused Scan and $2,499 Whole Body Scan. Standalone scans do not bundle lab panels, though you can add panels a-la carte. The cheapest whole-region screening scan is the $1,199 Focused Scan. The $799 Brain and Heart Health Assessments and the $499 Body Composition Analysis are narrower single-system studies.
Year-two costs depend on which structure you select. An annual membership covers up to two screenings a year, pairing an MRI scan with lab panels. Prenuvo does not publish a renewal rate. Budgeting for year two requires planning for the full published membership fee again. Two consecutive years of Comprehensive membership total $4,998 across two $2,499 payments. Standalone scans carry no renewal obligations. Buying a standalone Whole Body Scan in year one costs $2,499, and skipping year two keeps your two-year total at $2,499. Repeating the standalone scan in year two matches the $4,998 membership total, but omits the four bundled lab reviews. For readers assessing recurring surveillance, our Prenuvo value analysis covers scan frequency tradeoffs.
Executive pricing also varies by clinic. A footnote lists the Executive tier at $4,499 in sixteen metropolitan markets and $4,999 in New York City. The FAQ on that same page contradicts the footnote, stating the tier costs $4,499 in New York City. Prenuvo publishes both figures on the same page without reconciling them. Location constraints also govern scan features. Blood panels require eligible United States clinics, while the Advanced Heart Health Scan operates only at selected locations.
The standalone route is the $1,199 Focused Scan or the $2,499 Whole Body Scan, with no ongoing membership fee attached to either. If you opt for a membership, account for clinic location before purchasing. Regional limits on blood draws and heart imaging determine whether you receive the complete bundle. You can also evaluate these scan packages against alternative services in our Prenuvo versus Ezra comparison.
A third path is the one that costs the most and is the hardest to opt out of: a year-one finding puts you on a surveillance schedule. Repeat imaging every six or twelve months on a specific lesion is ordinary medical care, typically billed to insurance at a radiology facility rather than repeated here — but it is a recurring cost that the original scan created.
What the base price includes, specifically
- A ~60-minute MRI session. No ionizing radiation and, in the standard protocol, no contrast injection.
- A board-certified radiologist reading and a written report.
- A findings review with recommendations on what, if anything, warrants follow-up.
- Access to your imaging files, usually through a patient portal, so another physician can read them independently.
What the base price does not include
- Follow-up imaging. Repeat MRI, ultrasound, or CT triggered by a finding is billed at an outside radiology facility.
- Biopsy or specialist consultation. Separate, and separately billed.
- An ongoing physician relationship. The report is the deliverable; there is no one managing your care afterward.
- Treatment for anything found. Diagnosis and treatment are entirely separate purchases.
- Blood biomarkers of any kind. This is an imaging-only product.
- Travel. Scans happen at physical locations. Outside covered metros, add flights or a long drive and a day.
- Coverage of every organ. MRI reads some regions far better than others, and implant or claustrophobia limits can rule you out before price becomes the question. Our full body MRI scan guide covers both.
How the price compares at similar scope
Listed alphabetically. Ezra is the nearest direct competitor; Fountain Life bundles imaging into a much broader concierge program; a hospital cash-pay MRI is the floor if you only need one region. Prenuvo alternatives takes each of these options in turn, including the cheaper partial-body scans that do not appear in this table.
| Option | Entry price | Realistic year one | Scope at that price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ezra | ~$1,000–$2,500 per scan | Comparable | Whole-body MRI screening, radiologist report |
| Fountain Life | $19,500+/yr | $22,000–$30,000+ | Full-body MRI plus coronary CT, 200+ biomarkers, in-person physician days |
| Hospital cash-pay MRI (single region) | $400–$1,500 per region | Varies | One anatomical region, ordered by a physician |
| Prenuvo | $1,199–$2,499 per scan | $2,499–$3,000+ | Focused or whole-body MRI, radiologist report, no ongoing care |
The instructive comparison is the last row. A single-region cash-pay MRI at a hospital or independent imaging center runs $400–$1,500 and requires a physician order. If you have a specific anatomical question, that is a much cheaper way to answer it. The whole-body price is buying breadth in the absence of a specific question — which is exactly the use case the screening debate is about.
The first row is the one most buyers actually need priced against this page, because the two whole-body providers overlap on scope and end at the same kind of radiologist report. Tier structures differ, so the cheaper sticker price is not always the cheaper equivalent scan. Our head-to-head comparison of the two providers lines up the tiers, protocol lengths and prices side by side.
Insurance, HSA, and FSA
No US insurer covers whole-body MRI screening in asymptomatic adults. Major medical societies do not recommend it in that population, and coverage follows the guidelines. There is no appeal path that changes this for a screening scan. That exclusion includes Medicare, which does not cover a Prenuvo scan for screening. An MRI ordered because you have a symptom, a lump, unexplained weight loss, blood in your stool, or persistent pain is diagnostic and is frequently covered. If you have a symptom, see a physician and get the targeted scan instead, which is faster, more focused, and usually cheaper to you.
HSA and FSA are a different matter. Diagnostic imaging is a qualifying medical expense, and a standalone scan receipt itemizes cleanly. A membership fee bundles imaging, labs and a review into one annual charge, which is the harder line for a plan administrator to read. Confirm with your administrator either way, and expect fewer obstacles on the standalone route.
One asymmetry worth knowing: the screening scan is cash-pay, but everything it finds is ordinary medical care. Follow-up imaging, biopsies, and specialist visits are billed to insurance normally and count toward your deductible.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Prenuvo cost?
The cheapest full screening scan is the Focused Scan at ~$1,199, with narrower single-system assessments from $499. A full Whole Body Scan covering head, neck, spine, chest, abdomen, and pelvis runs ~$2,499. Prices vary by clinic location. Prenuvo also sells three annual memberships — Core at $1,199, Comprehensive at $2,499 and Executive from $3,999 — which bundle a scan with a lab panel and a results review.
What does the scan price include?
A roughly 60-minute MRI session with no radiation and no contrast injection, a board-certified radiologist reading, a written report, a findings review with follow-up recommendations, and access to your imaging files through a patient portal.
Does insurance cover Prenuvo?
No. Whole-body MRI screening in asymptomatic adults is not covered by any US insurer at time of publication, because major medical societies do not recommend it in that population. HSA and FSA may cover it depending on your plan administrator.
Are there hidden Prenuvo costs?
The follow-up cost is the significant one. If a scan finds something requiring additional imaging or a biopsy, those studies are billed separately at a radiology facility — usually through insurance, which means copays, deductible exposure, and specialist visits. That workup is common enough with whole-body screening that it belongs in the budget, not the footnotes.
What does Prenuvo cost in year two?
It depends which way you bought. A standalone scan has nothing to renew, so a second scan is a fresh $1,199–$2,499 decision at full price. A membership bills annually, and Prenuvo publishes no renewal rate, so budget the full published fee again. Many people scan once for a baseline and do not repeat; the marketing cadence and the actual cadence often differ.
How often should I repeat a scan?
Prenuvo marketing suggests an annual repeat. Radiologists and preventive medicine physicians generally recommend less frequent screening for asymptomatic adults absent specific risk factors, since the yield of a repeat scan a year after a clean one is low. Discuss cadence with a physician who understands your risk profile before committing to a recurring cost.
