What it is

A single-view chest X-ray takes one picture of the chest, usually from the front, to show the lungs and heart. It is often done in the emergency room or at the bedside with a portable machine, for example to check a breathing tube or follow up pneumonia.

What the price covers

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