> I think I read somewhere that SPECT scans are around $1500. They have to inject some kind of green dye that crosses into your brain in order for the scan to be effective. Insurance might pay for the scan if your psychiatrist deems that it is necessary to treat you, but somehow I would think HMOs would object to spending that kind of money unless it was life threatening, or even if it was life threatening for that matter!
