Cash or insurance?

At 12 of 14 hospitals that publish insurer rates for this code here, the cash price is below the highest rate a health plan has negotiated, and at 12 it is 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 abdominal MRI without contrast images the liver, pancreas, kidneys and bile ducts. It is used, for example, to look at bile ducts (MRCP) or liver fat, without radiation.

What the price covers

The price usually covers the scan. The radiologist's reading may be billed separately.
