Before you schedule

North Carolina average $3,721 — prices near High Point are below average
Call billing before you schedule Ask: "What is the cash price for this procedure?" — if you haven't met your deductible, it may be hundreds less than going through insurance
Expect a separate bill These are facility fees. Your doctor, radiologist, or anesthesiologist bills separately — ask about those costs too

Your knee MRI in High Point ranges from about $1,700 to $2,850 depending on where you go—that's a 67 percent spread, which is unusually wide for a single imaging procedure in one city. High Point Regional Health System's cash price of $2,849 is at the top of that range and also runs about $640 more than the state average. Before you schedule there, call their billing department and ask for the cash price for your specific MRI to confirm, since what you see online may not match what they quote you directly.

You have real room to shop here. Ask the other facilities in High Point for their cash prices—some are charging substantially less. If you have insurance, ask your doctor's office which hospital they prefer to send your imaging to; that preference sometimes matters more than price for quality and speed. If cost is your main concern and you can wait a few days, get quotes from at least two other providers before booking.

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.

1

"What is your cash price for MRI Knee with and 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.

2

"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.

3

"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.
