Renown charges $1,000 (cash) for a CT scan. You can either pay $1,000 on the spot, or $1,400 on their payment plan. So not only do they charge "extortionist" costs for this service, they prey on people who can't afford it with a 40% markup. This is the absurdity of modern healthcare, something Renown is directly participating in. The CT machine costs between 125,000 - $500,000 (depending on 16 slice vs 64 slice). Let's assume it's the $500k model. Because the CT scanner is often booked, taking into consideration an average of 5 scans per day (it could be more) that's $1,825,000 they make in a single year. Think they're ganking their patents? The exact same scan with the exact same unit (in other countries) is a mere $200 (sometimes less). This price gouging is unacceptable and disgusting. Something needs to be done about it because Renown is preying on their patients.
