Winter is officially here, and it certainly is getting chilly in San Francisco (we would absolutely love a hot peppermint mocha right about now)! So – to heat things up a bit – this week we’re featuring Miami as our costliest city.

Costliest procedure: A CT scan of the head/brain. Miami comes in as the third priciest on average ($1,225).

Curious fact: The Magic City is the least expensive of our 30 cities examined, for a preventive primary care visit, coming in at a mere $96.
