If they are a non neurological specialist she should probably stay away.

Answer:

The facility accepts most health insurance policies but not Sarah’s.

Step-by-step explanation:

Magnetic resonance imaging is an expensive medical procedure and for this reason Sarah would need the support of health insurance to cover the expenses of the procedure. A facility that does MRI procedures is only a good option for Sarah if that facility accepts Sarah's health insurance policy, otherwise she should look for another facility.

The MRI machine has a large magnet that interacts with our body through magnetic fields and radiofrequency pulses. This creates high definition images in three planes: horizontal, vertical and layered. Even because it does not emit radiation and is very complete, the exam has a relatively high cost.
