Cash can beat the list price
The “gross” charge is the hospital's list price; the cash price is what many will accept from a self-pay patient. For these procedures in Maine, the cash price is a fraction of the list price.

|---|---|---|
| DEXA Bone Density Scan | $397 | $666 |
| Screening Mammogram | $381 | $612 |
