My insurance, Rocky Mountain Health Plans, will not answer that question. It does not release its “negotiated rates.” Farmington cash price: $785. Denver cash price: $585.

Moral of the story? If you need tests or scans done, do them out of town. The hospitals own all the MRIs here in town.

Don’t be held captive and get ripped off! Shop around for your health care in “the best health-care system in the world.” What a joke.
