I will probably need to have a face CT scan (nose and ear) later this year, and I'm looking for the cheapest place that will do it in Chiang Mai. Yes, yes I know people don't like to hear the word 'cheap' but that's the way it is. Last time I asked the price at RAM, but i cannot remember the number they gave me. I just remember thinking 'i can't afford this'. Thank you 

Go to the Sriphat Clinic which is art of the big University Hospital.

You could contact the hospitals and ask them the prices ? 

You get it free with the work permit and health care package.

I always thought that it was the person reading the scan that was important, not just a cheap scan that might be read by someone less qualified in that particular field.

The private hospitals have CT scanners as does Suan Doc, the latter will be the most cost effective but I'm sorry I don't know the current price. You might try going to Suan Doc and asking them...Sriphat does not have it's own scanners, they use Suan Doc's.

The least expensive option is this stand-alone imaging center. (Scroll down under "contact us" for the CM branch.)

 

They will supply the scan on a CD which you can then bring to your doctor.

Hoever  if contrast media is required, there is a risk (small in frequency but potentially life threatening) in having that done outside of a hospital setting.

 

You need to first check with your doctor as to scan parameters. Do not self-prescribe this as you risk wasting money. 

 

 

Udorn Medical Group if they are in Chiang Mai, they only do Mammograms, CT, MRI, Ultrasound & X-Ray.  No other medical services provided. No doctors consultations, nada,

Nakornping or Suan Dok

Just had a CT scan on my abdomen last week in a private Chumphon hospital and the price was 4900THB. I was an inpatient at the time.

Yes, find the best specialist for your problem. It will  be him who diagnoses your scan. The interpretation is very important.

My experience of hospitals in Thaliand is if you phone, email or call in and explain what you need they will give you a quote. They are businesses and you are a potential customer.

Of course there will be charges for each appointment and then the job itself will have charges for materials, admin and suchlike
