About these prices
US hospitals must publish their prices by law. We take them from each hospital's own file. They're what hospitals charge, not what patients told us they paid, and not a quote.
Hospitals are compared on the same billing code, but what each one includes in that price can differ. Doctors, anesthesia and some tests are often billed separately and aren't included.
For insurance, we show what most plans pay the hospital, leaving out the very lowest and highest. Your own share depends on your plan.
What each hospital calls it: Parkwest Medical Center, “MR LUMBAR SPINE WO CONT”; The University of Tennessee Medical Center, “Mri lumbar spine w/o dye”; Fort Loudoun Medical Center, “MR LUMBAR SPINE WO CONT”; Fort Sanders Regional Medical Center, “MR LUMBAR SPINE WO CONT”; Methodist Medical Center of Oak Ridge, “MR LUMBAR SPINE WO CONT”; Roane County Medical Center, “MR LUMBAR SPINE WO CONT”; Turkey Creek Medical Center, “MR-LUMB SPINE WO”; North Knoxville Medical Center, “MR-LUMB SPINE WO”; Lafollette Medical Center, “MR-LUMB SPINE WO”.
