Louisiana Cash-Price Benchmark

Cash price for a brain MRI in Louisiana: 45 hospitals measured

Freestanding imaging centre, estimated

$500 to $1,350
Our own estimate. No imaging operator publishes a per-state cash price.

Hospital outpatient, measured

$257 to $2,814
Median $692 cash against a median gross charge of $2,476, from 45 of the 55 Louisiana hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 82 in the state, files dated to September 2026.

New Orleans Ochsner system is large; Baton Rouge competitive. 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 $3,110; 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).
