About mri of the neck (cervical spine), no contrast

CPT 72141 is an MRI of the cervical spine without contrast. It shows the discs, nerve roots and spinal cord in the neck and is ordered for arm numbness, neck pain that does not settle, and suspected disc herniation. Expect 20 to 40 minutes in the scanner.

What the price covers

The hospital's price is the technical fee for the scanner, technologist and room. The radiologist's reading is billed separately. Contrast is not part of this code; if your doctor orders contrast the code and price change.

Why prices vary

Spine MRIs are among the most-shopped imaging tests because they are elective and common. Hospital prices spread widely within a metro area; hospital-owned outpatient imaging centers and freestanding centers are usually the low end. Cash prices at hospitals are frequently below the rates they negotiate with insurers.

Questions to ask

  • What is the self-pay price for 72141, scan only?
