Cash or insurance?

At the one hospital here that publishes insurer rates for this code, the cash price is below the highest rate a health plan has negotiated. If you have insurance but have not met your deductible, you usually pay your plan's negotiated rate, which falls somewhere in the "Insurers pay" column. Paying cash can cost less, but a cash payment usually does not count toward your deductible. Ask the hospital for both numbers before you book.

What it is

A soft tissue neck X-ray shows the airway and the tissues of the throat rather than the spine. It is used in children and adults to look for a swallowed object, swelling of the epiglottis or croup.

What the price covers

The hospital price usually covers taking the X-ray. The radiologist's reading is often billed separately.
