Negotiation Tips

CT scans at outpatient imaging centers typically cost 40-60% less than the same scan at a hospital
Check whether your bill includes separate charges for the technical component and the radiologist reading -- these are sometimes billed separately at inflated rates
Medicare pays approximately $310 for a common CT scan -- use this as a benchmark for negotiation
If the CT was ordered as a follow-up to an ER visit, verify it was not already included in the ER facility fee
