Questions to ask before you book
- What is the total self-pay price, in writing, before the visit?
- Does that price include the doctor or radiologist fee and the facility fee, or are those billed separately?
- Which CPT code will you bill, so I can compare prices?
- Is an independent imaging center an option for this order, and would the price be lower?
- If contrast is added on the day, how does the price change?
- Is there a prompt-pay or cash discount, and do you offer a payment plan?
- Is this facility in my insurance network, and will anyone out of network be involved?
- If I am uninsured or paying cash, can I get a Good Faith Estimate under the No Surprises Act?
