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 neck X-ray shows the bones of the cervical spine. It is used after injuries such as car accidents and falls, and for neck pain with warning signs.

What the price covers

The price usually covers taking the images. The radiologist's reading may be billed separately.

1 row held back from this comparison

It is priced below $1 or below a tenth of the national median for code 72040 ($251.55). Such a line is almost always a physician's fee billed separately, an assistant's share or a placeholder — a real charge, but not the price of the procedure itself.
