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: Banner University Medical Center South, “MRI SPINE LUMBAR WO CNT”; Banner University Medical Center Tucson, “MRI SPINE LUMBAR WO CNT”; Tucson Medical Center, “HC MRI L-Spine W/O Contrast”; Tucson Medical Center Rincon Hospital, “HC MRI L-Spine W/O Contrast”; Northwest Healthcare Houghton, “MR-LUMB SPINE WO”; Northwest Healthcare Sahuarita, “MR-LUMB SPINE WO”; Northwest Medical Center, “MR-LUMB SPINE WO”; Oro Valley Hospital, “MR-LUMB SPINE WO”; Carondelet Marana Hospital, “MRI SPINE LUMBAR W/O CM”; St. Joseph's Hospital, “MRI SPINE LUMBAR W/O CM”; St. Mary's Hospital, “MRI SPINE LUMBAR W/O CM”.
