Cash or insurance?

At the one hospital here that publishes insurer rates for this code, the cash price is below the highest rate a health plan has negotiated and below every plan's rate. If you have insurance but have not met your deductible, you usually pay your plan's negotiated rate, which falls somewhere in the "Insurers pay" column. Paying cash can cost less, but a cash payment usually does not count toward your deductible. Ask the hospital for both numbers before you book.

What it is

An MRI of the cervical spine uses a magnet and radio waves to make detailed pictures of the neck part of the spine, including discs, nerves and the spinal cord. It is commonly ordered for neck pain that spreads into the arm, numbness, tingling or weakness in the hands. No contrast dye is used.

What the price covers

The hospital price usually covers the scan of the neck section of the spine. The radiologist's reading is often billed separately.
