Compared with Medicare
$356.43 is Medicare's 2026 national base rate for this service in a hospital outpatient department, including the patient's share and before the local wage adjustment. The median hospital cash price, $2,274.00 across 234 hospitals, is 6.4× that.
Researchers often measure hospital prices as a multiple of Medicare's rate, and it is a concrete number to mention when you ask a hospital for a cash discount. Source: CMS.
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.
Why prices differ
Not every hospital or imaging center has a dedicated breast MRI setup, and some offer lower-cost abbreviated breast MRI programs with their own cash pricing.
What to ask
Ask whether the self-pay price for CPT 77049 includes the contrast agent and the radiologist's reading.
