5 most-searched medical procedures for cost

"MRI" and "knee" procedures were the two medical services users searched the most for cost on Fair Health's consumer lookup tool, the organization said Jan. 27.

For 2019, the top five medical terms searched using Fair Health's cost tool were:

1. MRI
2. Knee
3. Dermatological
4. Colonoscopy
5. Physical therapy

Fair Health found similar results in 2018, although "CT scan" was No. 2 and didn't make the list in 2019, while "knee" moved into the top five.
