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
Your cervical spine MRI in High Point has a wide price range—from $1,050 to $2,353 depending on where you go—so calling ahead to confirm the exact cash price before scheduling matters. High Point Regional Health System quotes $1,336 for this scan, which is a bit above the local median of $1,193. Since you're likely getting this done in the next few days, your best move is to call their billing department today or tomorrow morning and ask for the cash price for an MRI cervical spine without contrast, then compare it to at least one other facility in town to see if you can save a few hundred dollars.
Before you schedule, also ask if your insurance has already approved this procedure—that approval usually comes from your doctor's office, but confirming it directly saves you from surprises later. If you don't have insurance or are paying out of pocket, mention that to billing; they may offer a discount beyond the cash price. Get the exact appointment date and any prep instructions (like whether you need to remove metal) so you're ready to go when the time comes.
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.
