Questions to ask before booking. A few things a reader can ask or check:
- Quote the billing code, such as 70551 for a brain MRI without contrast, and ask for the cash or self-pay price for that code.
- Ask for an itemized written estimate, and ask what the quote includes and leaves out (supplies, contrast, a repeat visit, anything billed under a different code).
- Ask whether the price covers the facility charge only. Separate professional bills may come from a radiologist reading a scan, an ER physician for an ER visit, or a physician who interprets an echocardiogram.
- Ask whether those professional groups publish their own prices and whether they bill separately.

Cash/Self-Pay: The discounted rate hospitals offer to uninsured patients. Ask about financial assistance programs for further reductions.
Insured Range: Lowest to highest negotiated rates across all payers. Medicare rates are typically lowest; commercial plan rates highest.
About Facility Fees
