Cash or insurance?

At 2 of 2 hospitals that publish insurer rates for this code here, the cash price is below the highest rate a health plan has negotiated, and at 1 it is below every plan's rate.

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.
