MORGANFIELD, KY HC MRI BRAIN W&W/O CONTRAST |
$1,536.90 | $3,270.00 | 53% | Feb 13, 2026 file |
Outpatient: lowest $1,536.90, median $1,536.90, highest $1,536.90.
As an inpatient, the same code is billed by 1 facility here, median $1,536.90. 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 70553 ($2,489.40). 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.
