The two groups are not comparable and are not averaged together: a price for both sides of the body covers twice the work. Merging them is how a single published "median" ends up far above what one side actually costs.

As an outpatient, the same code is billed by 1 facility here, median $172.74 — that is the price to compare if you are not being admitted.

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.
