- Quote the billing code, such as 70551 for MRI Brain Without Contrast or 74176 for CT Abdomen and Pelvis without Contrast.
- Ask for the cash or self-pay price and an itemized written estimate.
- Ask what the quote includes and what it leaves out, such as contrast, supplies or follow-up visits.
- Ask whether separate professional bills apply, such as a radiologist reading an MRI, CT or ultrasound, or an ER physician for an ER visit. Facility charges here do not include them.
