The hospital has a 4-star rating, so you're not sacrificing quality for the savings. Before you book anywhere else in the area, call Sentara's billing department and confirm that $1,933 price applies to your specific knee MRI, since imaging procedures can sometimes have add-ons.

Ask whether they offer a discount if you pay in full upfront or at the time of service.
