What this is
This is a diagnostic imaging service — an X-ray, ultrasound, CT, MRI, or nuclear scan — that produces pictures of the inside of the body. Many imaging codes come in with-contrast and without-contrast versions that are billed separately.
What affects the price
Where the scan is done matters most: a hospital outpatient radiology department typically charges more than a freestanding imaging center for the same study, largely because of the facility fee. Comparing the cash prices below across settings can reveal large differences.
