What this price covers

These are hospital charges for CPT code 77049 (Breast MRI (both breasts) with and without contrast). A hospital price file covers the hospital's own charges. Doctors who are not hospital employees — for imaging, usually the radiologist who reads the scan — can bill you separately, and extra services on the same day (contrast, an injection, a consultation) have their own codes.

How to ask for a lower price without insurance

Ask the hospital for a Good Faith Estimate. If you are uninsured or not using insurance, federal law entitles you to a written estimate on request, and automatically when you schedule at least three business days ahead (CMS: No Surprises Act).
Ask whether the hospital has an uninsured discount or a financial assistance policy, and how to apply.
Compare with an independent imaging center or lab: they are not covered by the hospital price rule and often quote lower cash prices.
