Vhi Claims for MRI and Other Scans

We pay the hospital directly

Many hospitals and medical facilities bill us directly so you can focus on getting better.

To check if the hospital or medical facility you are attending is on our list of approved facilities, simply log in to MyVhi and select 'Check my cover' or use Vhi App's 'Cover Check' option.

Pay and claim back facilities

If the facility you attend is an approved facility, but does not have direct billing, you can claim back online using Snap & Send in MyVhi or Vhi App. There is a separate claiming process for MRI scans in facilities that we do not pay directly - details below in our MRI section.

X-rays, DEXA scans, Mammograms, Ultrasound and CT scans

You can claim online using Snap & Send for any of these. Simply submit a claim in 4 easy steps:

3. Clinical indicator

MRI, CT and Oncology CT Scans - pay and claim back

There are a small number of medical facilities that we do not have a direct payment agreement with. In this instance, you will need to pay the hospital or medical centre and then submit a claim to us. This is called a non-direct claim.

In relation to MRI scans, an excess of €125 is applicable to all pay and claim back MRI scans. Unlike other excesses, you will not pay this upfront, but rather it is deducted during the assessment process.

Here's how to claim:

Submit a claim

Submit a completed claim form to us, signed by both you and your Consultant/GP. This is a non-direct payment form. You can send it to: Vhi, PO Box 10143, Dublin 18.

Assessment of claim

Your claim will be assessed for eligibility. Once successful, you will be reimbursed directly.
