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 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?"
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?"

These prices are facility fees. Your doctor, radiologist, and anesthesiologist bill separately. Ask how much those could add.
