Price flags come from our manual audit of each hospital’s price file (Oct 30, 2026). “Low price checked in file” = we opened the file and the row is a real facility cash price. “May be a partial/component line” = the row looks like a component, per-unit, or bundled line, so the real price for this test may differ. Hover a flag for the reason. Always confirm with the hospital.

Gaps
- Sources: Center for Diagnostic Imaging (CDI) is now RAYUS, and the Minnesota centers share one posted RAYUS MN price file (Aug 2026). Affordable MRI and Diagnostic Imaging Center – Brooklyn Center are the same address (2781 Freeway Blvd Ste 160), listed once. Consulting Radiologists (CRL) has no public CPT cash list and no freestanding MRI/CT, so it is not listed.
- Facility price = hospital-fee rows only: rows with billing class “professional” or modifier 26 are excluded; where a hospital labels every row professional, the technical/global non-26 rate is used (re-extracted Oct 30, 2026).
- Radiologist read is FROM FILE only where the hospital posts ≥10 mod-26 professional rates in a CSV file; otherwise ESTIMATE (CMS 2026 MN ×1–3), not that hospital’s bill.
- VERIFY (Mayo Clinic Health System hospitals): rows are true radiologist-interpretation lines (description “PR …”, modifier 26, separate from TC), but most payer rates are listed as a percent of billed charges (≈95–97% of the gross charge), not a fixed contracted fee — the typical amount actually paid may be much lower. Shown as posted; ask Mayo for a Good Faith Estimate.
- JSON-format price files were scanned too; the ones we have (Aspirus St. Luke’s, Aspirus Lake View) list no payer dollar rates on their modifier-26 rows, so they stay ESTIMATE.
- Hospital rows with cash under $25 (likely unit/placeholder) are left out. Some hospitals’ files could not be read and are missing.

Imaging price FAQ
- What does “facility cash” mean?
- The lowest discounted cash (self-pay) rate a hospital posts for the scan itself in its own price file. It covers the machine, room and technologist, not the doctor who reads the images.
- Why is the RAYUS price higher than some hospital facility prices?
- RAYUS posts a global cash price: scan + radiologist read in one number (RAYUS MN price file, Aug 2026). A hospital facility price leaves the read out, so compare RAYUS with the hospital all-in range, not the facility price alone.
- Why does the hospital all-in add a radiologist fee separately?
- Hospitals usually bill the radiologist’s read separately (a professional fee, CPT modifier 26). We add it as a range: FROM FILE where the hospital posts enough of those rates, otherwise an ESTIMATE based on Medicare’s Minnesota fee ×1–3. How we estimate
- What does VERIFY or “% of charges” mean?
- Some files (e.g. Mayo Clinic Health System) list payer rates as a percent of billed charges, not a fixed dollar fee. We show them as posted and mark them VERIFY; what is actually paid may be much lower.
- How do I get a firm price?
- If you are uninsured or self-pay, you can ask for a written Good Faith Estimate before the scan. See your billing rights.

Facility fee only — doctor/radiologist, anesthesia, and pathology fees are billed separately and are not included. Prices come from each hospital’s own posted standard-charges file, last checked Oct 2026. Negotiated median is across all insurer rates in the file; it is not your plan’s price. Your insurer (Blue Cross, HealthPartners, Medica, UCare, etc.) may pay a different rate, and your cost depends on your deductible and coinsurance. Always ask for a Good Faith Estimate. Facility price = hospital-fee rows only (no “professional” billing class, no modifier 26; where a hospital labels every row professional, the technical/global non-26 rate is used). Re-extracted Oct 30, 2026. Know your billing rights.
How we got these prices · Last updated: Oct 30, 2026 (data files compiled). Data sources: hospitals’ own posted price files (machine-readable files parsed Oct 2026); doctor/radiologist estimates from CMS CY2026 Physician Fee Schedule (RVU26D, Oct 2026 release).

- Where do these prices come from?
- Each hospital’s own machine-readable price file (Oct 2026). We show the lowest posted discounted-cash rate on hospital-fee rows only.
- Is the doctor’s fee included?
- No. The facility price covers the hospital side only; the doctor’s fee (for example the radiologist’s read or the ER physician) is billed separately. See the all-in method for how we estimate it.
- Do star ratings or safety grades include cost?
- No. CMS star ratings and Leapfrog Hospital Safety Grades measure quality and patient safety, not price. A cheaper hospital is not rated higher or lower for being cheaper. How ratings work.
- Will I pay this price?
- Not necessarily. Prices change, and insurance, contrast, extra views or extra services can change the bill. Ask the hospital for a written Good Faith Estimate before you book.
