South Carolina Cash-Price Benchmark

Cash price for a brain MRI in South Carolina: 19 hospitals measured

Freestanding imaging centre, estimated

$470 to $1,250
Our own estimate. No imaging operator publishes a per-state cash price.

Hospital outpatient, measured

$893 to $3,288
Median $3,147 cash against a median gross charge of $4,475, from 19 of the 21 South Carolina hospitals whose own price files we have read, out of 51 in the state, files dated to July 2026.

Charleston and Columbia have the most competitive 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 1 hospital publishes a “cash price” that is its chargemaster restated rather than a discount, reaching $445; 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).
