North Carolina Cash-Price Benchmark

Cash price for a brain MRI in North Carolina: 40 hospitals measured

Freestanding imaging centre, estimated

$480 to $1,300
Our own estimate. No imaging operator publishes a per-state cash price.

Hospital outpatient, measured

$876 to $4,364
Median $1,883 cash against a median gross charge of $3,735, from 40 of the 47 North Carolina hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 80 in the state, files dated to September 2026.

Charlotte, Raleigh, Greensboro all competitive; Duke and UNC are large systems. The hospital figures are CPT 70551, brain MRI without contrast, taken from each hospital's own federal transparency file and attributed to the date that file carries. A further 4 hospitals publish a “cash price” that is its chargemaster restated rather than a discount, reaching $5,781; those are kept out of the band above and counted here instead. Hospitals whose file we could not read are named, not filled in (methodology).
