Outpatient: lowest $70.48, median $451.10, highest $1,321.00 — a 18.7× difference within the same market.
As an inpatient, the same code is billed by 33 facilities here, median $459.30. Inpatient and outpatient prices are not comparable and are kept on separate pages: the inpatient charge covers admission, not the same purchase.
What it is
This is an X-ray of the lower back (lumbar spine and sacrum) with at least four views taken from different angles. It is used to look at the bones for fractures, arthritis, alignment problems or changes after surgery.
What the price covers
The hospital price usually covers taking the X-rays. The radiologist's reading is often billed separately as a professional fee.

They are priced below $1 or below a tenth of the national median for code 72110 ($377.10). 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.
