Outpatient: lowest $88.44, median $282.91, highest $2,192.14 — a 24.8× difference within the same market.
Both sides : lowest $260.40, median $260.40, highest $260.40.
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 inpatient, the same code is billed by 7 facilities here, median $125.28. Inpatient and outpatient prices are not comparable and are kept on separate pages: the inpatient charge covers admission, not the same purchase.
Cash or insurance?
At 9 of 20 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 lower leg X-ray takes two pictures of the shinbone (tibia) and the thinner bone beside it (fibula). It is ordered after a fall, twist or direct blow to check for a fracture, and to follow a known fracture as it heals.
What the price covers
The hospital price usually covers taking the X-ray. The radiologist's reading is often billed separately.
