Arizona Cash-Price Benchmark

Cash price for a brain MRI in Arizona: 27 hospitals measured

Freestanding imaging centre, estimated

$500 to $1,400
Our own estimate. No imaging operator publishes a per-state cash price.

Hospital outpatient, measured

$347 to $5,618
Median $516 cash against a median gross charge of $3,014, from 27 of the 45 Arizona hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 66 in the state, files dated to August 2026.

Phoenix and Tucson markets are competitive with growing freestanding networks. 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 8 hospitals publish a “cash price” that is its chargemaster restated rather than a discount, reaching $3,014; those are kept out of the band above and counted here instead. 3 more hospitals list this code at prices more than three times apart in the same file, from $116 to $446, so which row is the scan cannot be told from the file; they are excluded from the band and counted here. Hospitals whose file we could not read are named, not filled in (methodology).
