Cash or insurance?
At 3 of 3 hospitals that publish insurer rates for this code here, the cash price is below the highest rate a health plan has negotiated, and at none is it 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 knee X-ray with three views takes pictures of the knee from different angles to show the bones, joint space and signs of arthritis or fracture. It is often the first imaging test for knee pain or injury, before any MRI.
What the price covers
The hospital price usually covers taking the X-ray of one knee. The radiologist's reading is often billed separately.
