I would like to book in for an MRI Scan preferably Shumen or maybe Varna? Can anyone advise me on availability of clinics please?

If payment/health insurance is not a factor, then I think you can get an MRI (or other) scan at any private hospital (of which there are many). My local Plovdiv hospital is Pulmed (but I think they're a chain), and I wandered in last year and asked for an MRI. They said they were a bit busy, but I could either wait... or they'd give me an appointment for the next day.

I can remember the price, but I thought it was cheap, so I had 3 (hip, knee, spine). :-) I think around 100 euros per MRI, maybe.

I know Pulmed (but I'm sure other hospitals too) do Health Screening Packages which include blood tests and various tests/scans. Pulmed's starts at basic blood pressure + blood test, but goes up to "Ultra VIP" with a whole bunch of stuff including various tests/scans of your heart/lungs etc. I don't know the exact prices, but they weren't expensive.
