Pricing Patterns at Morton Plant
At Morton Plant Hospital, cash prices are consistently set at 60% of gross charges, a 40% discount across every listed service, such as a brain MRI dropping from $4,453 to $2,671.80 and a chest X-ray from $759 to $455.40. Insured rates show far wider variation, with a CBC ranging from $3 to $208 and a CT abdomen and pelvis with contrast ranging from $208.97 to $7,553, meaning the top of each insured range equals the full gross charge. Notably, the lowest insured rates are far below the cash price for every service listed, for example $154.65 for an MRI versus a $2,671.80 cash price, so the cash discount does not approach the lowest negotiated insurance rates.

How cash relates to gross and insurer rates. Cash is 60% of gross on every row, and cash does not equal gross anywhere both values exist. All 13 rows with a cash price fall within the insured range, with 0 below every insured rate and 0 above. The file lists 1,434 insurer rate entries from 27 payer names, so the rate that applies to a given plan can differ from the cash price.
What to ask before you call billing. Quote the billing code, such as 71046 for a chest X-ray, and check:
- Ask for the cash or self-pay price and an itemized written estimate.
- Ask what the quote includes, such as the facility charge, and what it leaves out.
- Ask whether separate bills apply, such as a radiologist reading an MRI, CT or ultrasound, an ER physician for an ER visit, or a cardiologist reading an echocardiogram.
- Ask whether lab work or supplies are billed apart from the main service.
Blank values and the file date. No row on this page has a value published as $0 or blank, and none was left out as a likely file error. The file is a CSV of 87,245 items, updated 2026-01-01 and accessed by us on 2026-10-08, so current prices may differ.
