Before you schedule

North Carolina average $2,912 — 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 has a wider price spread than you might expect — ranging from about $900 to $2,000 depending on where you go, with most facilities charging around $1,500. High Point Regional Health System's cash price of $1,547 is close to the middle of that range, but it's worth calling other facilities in town first because you could save $600 or more by choosing the lowest-cost option. The state average is closer to $1,000, so there's real money on the table if you're paying out of pocket or have a high deductible.

Before you schedule anywhere, call High Point Regional's billing department and ask for their cash price specifically for an MRI knee without contrast — confirm it matches what you're seeing here. Then call at least two other facilities on the list and get their cash prices quoted over the phone. If you have insurance, ask your insurer what they'll pay; that number often differs from what the hospital charges uninsured patients, and knowing it helps you understand your actual out-of-pocket cost.

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 Knee without Contrast?"
