Full Bill Estimate — MRI Brain with Contrast
A brain MRI generates a facility fee for the scanner and technologist time. If contrast dye is injected, the IV administration is sometimes billed as a separate line item. Radiologists typically bill a professional interpretation fee under the same CPT code — expect a separate bill from radiology.
