Do I need a referral to order an MRI scan?

Yes, according to Swedish law, a medical referral is required to perform an MRI examination. When you book through us, the referral is included in your order, so you do not need to contact a health center or other healthcare provider while waiting for the referral to be issued.

After you have chosen the type of MRI scan you want to perform, we issue the referral as your referrer. Once the purchase is complete, you simply activate the referral yourself via our digital sample response service. In connection with the activation, you are allowed to choose the clinic (hospital or X-ray unit) where the examination will be performed.

You are also required to answer a number of mandatory medical questions that are sent with the referral, for example if you have implants, medical conditions or allergies. This information is important for your safety and for the clinic to be able to plan the examination correctly. When the referral is activated, it is sent directly to the clinic you have chosen. You will then receive an invitation for your MRI examination. Everything happens digitally – safely, quickly and without detours via the health center.
