Arkansas Cash-Price Benchmark

Cash price for a brain MRI in Arkansas: 11 hospitals measured

Freestanding imaging centre, estimated

$450 to $1,050
Our own estimate. No imaging operator publishes a per-state cash price.

Hospital outpatient, measured

$255 to $2,476
Median $1,187 cash against a median gross charge of $3,036, from 11 of the 19 Arkansas hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 42 in the state, files dated to July 2026.

Little Rock dominates supply; rural costs higher. 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 2 hospitals publish a “cash price” that is its chargemaster restated rather than a discount, reaching $3,050; those are kept out of the band above and counted here instead. 1 more hospital lists this code at prices more than three times apart in the same file, from $150 to $150, 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).
