Cash or insurance?
At 13 of 15 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. 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 hip X-ray takes two or three pictures of one hip joint, sometimes with a view of the pelvis. It is ordered for hip pain, a suspected fracture after a fall, or to check arthritis before or after hip replacement.
What the price covers
The hospital price usually covers taking the images of one hip. The radiologist's reading is often billed separately.
