Steroid injections, often called cortisone shots, treat joint, tendon and spine pain. They are billed by where the needle goes and whether imaging guides it. A shot in a knee or shoulder in a doctor's office is at the low end, while spine injections under X-ray in a hospital cost much more. The steroid itself is often a separate charge.

Paying cash: what to do
- Ask whether the price includes the medicine and any ultrasound or X-ray guidance.
- Orthopedic, sports medicine and pain management offices often charge less than hospitals.
- Doctors usually limit steroid shots to a few a year in one spot, so ask how many you might need.
