Pennsylvania Cash-Price Benchmark

Cash price for a brain MRI in Pennsylvania: 51 hospitals measured

Freestanding imaging centre, estimated

$550 to $1,500
Our own estimate. No imaging operator publishes a per-state cash price.

Hospital outpatient, measured

$234 to $6,214
Median $1,017 cash against a median gross charge of $3,014, from 51 of the 73 Pennsylvania hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 131 in the state, files dated to September 2026.

Philly and Pittsburgh have academic premiums; central PA more 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 6 hospitals publish a “cash price” that is its chargemaster restated rather than a discount, reaching $9,957; those are kept out of the band above and counted here instead. 10 more hospitals list this code at prices more than three times apart in the same file, from $45 to $1,522, 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).
