Ohio's Hospital Care Assurance Program (HCAP): Ohio residents who are not on Medicaid and whose income is at or below 100% of the federal poverty level get basic, medically necessary hospital services free at hospitals in the program; physician bills are not included. Ask the hospital's billing office for an HCAP application. Other states' laws.

An X-ray takes quick pictures of bones and the chest and is usually the first imaging test for an injury, joint pain or a cough. The price is set by the body part and the number of views, and the radiologist who reads the images often bills separately from the facility that takes them.

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.
