Iowa Cash-Price Benchmark

Cash price for a brain MRI in Iowa: 20 hospitals measured

Freestanding imaging centre, estimated

$480 to $1,250
Our own estimate. No imaging operator publishes a per-state cash price.

Hospital outpatient, measured

$900 to $4,896
Median $2,034 cash against a median gross charge of $2,851, from 20 of the 22 Iowa hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 30 in the state, files dated to September 2026.

Des Moines and Iowa City have the most providers. 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 1 hospital publishes a “cash price” that is its chargemaster restated rather than a discount, reaching $229; 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).
