As an outpatient, the same code is billed by 1 facility here, median $2,717.00 — that is the price to compare if you are not being admitted.

What it is

A breast MRI takes pictures of both breasts before and after contrast dye is injected into a vein, and the code includes computer-aided analysis of the images. It is used to screen women at high risk of breast cancer and to check the extent of a cancer that has already been found.

What the price covers

The hospital price usually covers the imaging of both breasts and the computer analysis; the contrast agent may appear as a separate line. 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 77049 ($1,876.12). 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.
