One side of the body : lowest $264.80, median $264.80, highest $264.80.

Both sides : lowest $396.00, median $396.00, highest $396.00.

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 $264.80 — that is the price to compare if you are not being admitted.

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.
