The Premier Healthcare Database was used to assess charge variation for prostate MRI examinations in U.S. hospitals from January 2010 to March 2020. In 552 facilities performing 37,073 examinations, the median charge per examination was $4419 with 26-fold variation between the lowest ($593) and highest ($15,150) median facility charges. In multilevel linear regression analysis, interfacility variation explained 63.9% of charge variation. Patients may be charged vastly different prices for prostate MRI depending on the facility.
使用Premier医疗数据库评估2010年1月至2020年3月美国医院前列腺MRI检查的费用差异。在552家进行了37073次检查的机构中，每次检查的中位费用为4419美元，最低（593美元）和最高（15150美元）中位机构费用之间相差26倍。在多水平线性回归分析中，机构间差异解释了63.9%的费用差异。根据机构不同，患者进行前列腺MRI检查可能会被收取相差极大的费用。
