Yeah that’s insanely upcharged. Being generous a high end ER CT scanner is in the $200,000 to $300,000 range. Contrast is a few bucks. Technologist + porter are generously paid $100 combined + whatever you want to give for overhead, noting a lot of these employees are officially “part time” to save on benefits.
Given that an average ER scanner does something like 80 studies a day, sounds like they’re depreciating over a week…
- maxerickson 4y agoThat matches the 'ballpark' costs I had sort of assumed. It's a small town hospital, so I wouldn't be surprised if their volume is quite a bit lower than that. Which still doesn't get to the cost being reasonable. 35,000 people in the county, with some of those people being closer or equal distance to other facilities.
