What this price typically doesn't include
Procedure codes generally cover the procedure itself. Other services that often appear on the same bill are listed under separate codes — for example:
- Anesthesia (CPT 00xxx)
- Pathology, if a sample is taken (CPT 88xxx)
- Drugs administered during the visit (J-codes)
- Facility vs. professional split — one charge from the hospital, another from the doctor
- Room and board, if the procedure is inpatient
Asking what other codes might appear on the bill is a useful follow-up so the total is not a surprise. Once you receive the bill, asking for an itemized statement listing each service code separately makes it easier to match against the disclosed prices above.

Before you schedule
If you're paying out of pocket for this MRI, the price you'll see can swing wildly — anywhere from about $1,300 to nearly $4,700 depending on which Hampton facility you choose. That's a 3.5-times difference for the exact same scan. Sentara CarePlex is right at the middle of that range at $2,000, which is actually lower than the Virginia average of $2,939, so if they're conveniently located for you, that's a reasonable option. But this wide spread means a quick phone call to a couple other facilities in town could save you $500 to $1,500.
Before you schedule anywhere, call the imaging department at your top choice and confirm the cash price for a cervical spine MRI without contrast — prices can shift, and you want today's number, not yesterday's. Ask whether they offer a discount if you pay upfront before the scan. If cost is tight, ask billing about financial assistance; some hospitals have programs based on your income that could reduce the bill further. Once you have firm quotes from two or three places, you can decide based on convenience and price together.
Questions to ask when you call
Before scheduling, call the hospital's billing department. These are the exact questions that get you the answers you need.
"What is your cash price for MRI Cervical Spine without Contrast?"
If you haven't met your deductible, the cash price may be lower than what your insurance negotiates. Many hospitals will honor their published cash price if you ask.
"What will my insurance plan pay for this, and what's my out-of-pocket?"
Get a written estimate. Ask them to include your deductible status and coinsurance percentage. This is called a "Good Faith Estimate" and you're legally entitled to one.
"Are there any other charges I should expect — radiologist, anesthesiologist, or facility fees?"
These prices are facility fees. Your doctor, radiologist, and anesthesiologist bill separately. Ask how much those could add.
