Both sides : lowest $525.00, median $525.00, highest $525.00.

Inpatient: lowest $241.71, median $350.00, highest $3,159.00 — a 13.1× difference within the same market.

One side of the body : lowest $982.80, median $1,330.20, highest $1,593.60 — a 1.6× difference within the same market.

The two groups are not comparable and are not averaged together: a price for both sides of the body covers twice the work. Merging them is how a single published "median" ends up far above what one side actually costs.

As an outpatient, the same code is billed by 4 facilities here, median $525.00 — that is the price to compare if you are not being admitted.

As an outpatient, the same code is billed by 46 facilities here, median $302.91 — that is the price to compare if you are not being admitted.

As an outpatient, the same code is billed by 1 facility here, median $1,330.20 — that is the price to compare if you are not being admitted.

What it is

An MRI of a lower-limb joint makes detailed pictures of the joint, usually the knee, though the code also covers the hip and ankle. It shows ligaments, cartilage, the meniscus and tendons that do not show on X-rays. No contrast dye is used.

What the price covers

The hospital price usually covers the scan of one joint. The radiologist's reading is often billed separately.

2 rows held back from this comparison

They are priced below $1 or below a tenth of the national median for code 73721 ($1,751.40). 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.
