Outpatient: lowest $33.15, median $41.93, highest $50.70 — a 1.5× difference within the same market.

Both sides : lowest $272.51, median $272.51, highest $272.51.

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 2 facilities here, median $41.93. Inpatient and outpatient prices are not comparable and are kept on separate pages: the inpatient charge covers admission, not the same purchase.

What it is

An ankle X-ray with two views shows the ankle bones. It is used after twisted ankles and falls to look for fractures.

What the price covers

The price usually covers taking the images. The radiologist's reading may be billed separately.

They are priced below $1 or below a tenth of the national median for code 73600 ($218.40). Such a line is almost always a physician's fee billed separately, an assistant's share or a placeholder — a real charge, but not the price of the procedure itself.
