DAMARISCOTTA, ME HC CT HEAD OR W/O CONTRAST |
$1,382.10 | $1,382.10 | — | Sep 9, 2025 file |
Outpatient: lowest $298.00, median $840.05, highest $1,382.10 — a 4.6× difference within the same market.
As an inpatient, the same code is billed by 1 facility here, median $840.05. Inpatient and outpatient prices are not comparable and are kept on separate pages: the inpatient charge covers admission, not the same purchase.
It is priced below $1 or below a tenth of the national median for code 70450 ($996.32). Such a line is almost always a physician's fee billed separately, an assistant's share or a placeholder — a real charge, but not the price of the procedure itself.
