Paying cash: what to do
- Ask for the self-pay price for the exact code on your order, since the number of views changes the code.
- Ask whether the radiologist's reading is included; if not, ask the radiology group for its self-pay rate as well.
- Many urgent care centers and independent imaging centers take X-rays on site, often at lower prices than a hospital outpatient department.
