NOT Included - Medical prescription
In Spain, a medical prescription is required for any diagnostic test. If you do not have one, you will need to see a specialist beforehand to obtain one.
Below, we explain the process step by step, whether you have it or not:
If you have a medical prescription
- Purchase the test as normal.
- Immediately afterwards, we will send you the instructions for you to send us the medical prescription to the e-mail address you used to make the purchase, so that we can manage the appointment.
- With the medical prescription we will be able to check that the diagnostic test purchased corresponds to the one indicated by the specialist.
- We will arrange your appointment with a date and time so that you can go to the hospital of your choice to undergo the test.
You do not have a medical prescription
If you do not have a medical prescription, Operarme will arrange a consultation with one of our specialists at a preferential price (subject to availability in the area). Contact us for more information.
During the consultation you will be able to inform the doctor about the test you need. He/she may ask you for a report in relation to your medical problem, if the test you need to have requires it.
If you do not have a prescription or report associated with the reason for the diagnostic test, it is likely that you will be referred to a face-to-face consultation. If this is your case, contact us for advice on how to proceed.
Remember: on the day of the test you must bring and show the Operarme voucher and the medical prescription.

All about MRI scanning in Barcelona
If you have a prescription and need to have an MRI scan in 1 anatomical region with contrast in Barcelona, through Operarme you can purchase the service only for 249 € and diagnose any possible injuries or pathologies you may have, so your doctor can recommend the best treatment for you.
What should you take into account before purchasing this MRI test?
If you need an MRI, first you must have a medical prescription from your doctor or specialist.
In the event that you don’t have one but are interested in having an MRI, you can first purchase and attend a private consultation with one of our specialists in Barcelona and tell the doctor about the symptoms you have; if the doctor considers an MRI scan with contrast is necessary, he/she will hand you a prescription for the test.
Once you’ve purchased the MRI test, you will automatically receive an email with your medical voucher, information regarding the service and the hospital, and also an invoice of the test purchased.
Right after, you have to call the selected hospital/clinic’s contact number (indicated in the voucher), and request an appointment to take the test.
On the day of the appointment, you will need to take the prescription with you. If you attend without a prescription, it’s likely that the hospital staff may refer you to a private consultation first. This consultation is not included in the price of the MRI test you purchase on Operarme’s website and it is possible that the cost of the consultation at the hospital is higher than the preferential price published on our website for Operarme patients.
If you need another type of MRI, you can consult our diagnostic tests section and choose the one that best suits your needs (brain MRI, spinal MRI, MRI of 1/2 regions, MRI with contrast, etc).
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact our Patient Service Team on +34 91 141 33 56, or leave a contact form and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

When is an MRI scan with contrast prescribed?
Contrast is a technique that allows us to highlight or differentiate lesions in our body more clearly.
The decision of prescribing an MRI with contrast depends on the patient’s medical condition, and the clinical questions that throughout this test the specialist tries to resolve.
Do you need a Diagnostic Tests?

Purchase ServiceSome of these cases are the following:
-
Assess tumours: contrast can highlight the area of the tumours that have a higher blood flow, which can help determine the extent of the tumour and its relation to the surrounding tissues.
-
Assess inflammatory diseases: contrast can highlight the inflammatory areas and help determine the extent of the disease, for example in cases of multiple sclerosis.
-
Assess the extent of trauma injuries.
The use of contrast should be determined by a medical specialist, depending on the individual needs and circumstances of each patient.

What does an MRI scan with contrast consist of?
Generally, before having an MRI scan done, you mustn’t take any previous indications prior to the test. In some exceptional cases, the specialist will indicate if you need to attend on an empty stomach to the appointment.
On the day of the MRI scan, the hospital staff will give you a robe and ask you to remove any metallic objects you might wear on you. Right after, you will lie on a motorised table and you will be given a small amount of gadolinium intravenously (contrast). You may feel a warm or cold sensation at the injection site, but it does not cause any pain.
Once you’re ready, the motorised table will slide into the MRI tube and, from another room, the technician will monitor the progress of the test.
During the procedure the scan can make loud tapping noises at certain times, therefore you'll be given earplugs or headphones to wear and block the noise.
If you feel uncomfortable in small spaces, or you are claustrophobic, you can ask for a sedative prior to the procedure.
However, you need to consult first with the specialist if this is an option or not. Moreover, you will have at all times a button to press in case you start feeling anxiety or get overwhelmed. However, most people pass the test without difficulty.

Frequent Questions
-
Is the contrast liquid (gadolinium) toxic?
No. In general, gadolinium is safe and well tolerated by most patients. However, on rare occasions, gadolinium can cause side effects. The most common side effects include nausea, vomiting, headache, and feeling hot or cold at the site of administration. These side effects are usually mild and disappear quickly.
In very rare cases, gadolinium can cause a severe allergic reaction called nephrogenic systemic fibrosis (NSF), which mainly affects patients with advanced kidney disease. NSF is a rare disease that can cause fibrosis (hardening) of the skin and other organs.
This is why it is important to get a prescription from your doctor. Your doctor will only prescribe it if your allergy history and medical history are suitable for it.
-
What happens if I buy an MRI test and don't have it?
Operarme Tests vouchers are valid for 30 days (from the date of purchase)
In the event that you purchase the test and realise that you are not going to have it done in those 30 days, please contact us on +34 91 141 33 56 to notify us, and extend the validity of the voucher.
-
What happens if I go to the clinic without a prescription?
If you attend without a prescription, you won’t have the MRI done. It’s likely that the hospital staff may refer you to a private consultation first. This consultation is not included in the price of the MRI test you purchase on Operarme’s website and it is possible that the cost of the consultation at the hospital is higher than the preferential price published on our website for Operarme patients.
