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

An upper arm X-ray takes at least two pictures of the humerus, the bone between the shoulder and the elbow. It is used after a fall or injury to look for a fracture.

What the price covers

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