About these rates.

Hospitals are required by federal law (45 CFR 180.50) to publish the rates they negotiated with each insurer for each procedure. These numbers are the rates the hospital published for Medicare plans, pulled directly from each hospital's machine-readable file.

The range column reflects different Medicare plan tiers (HMO, PPO, EPO, etc.). Your plan picks one number out of that range. Your actual out-of-pocket depends on your deductible status, copay, and coinsurance, which the comparison tool can model when you fill them in.

Cash-pay rates are often cheaper than the negotiated rate, especially for high-deductible plans. Worth comparing both — the Brain MRI without contrast overview shows the cash-pay column alongside.
