Inpatient: lowest $137.50, median $285.18, highest $731.00 — a 5.3× difference within the same market.
Both sides : lowest $404.00, median $404.00, highest $404.00.
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 49 facilities here, median $285.35 — that is the price to compare if you are not being admitted.
Cash or insurance?
At 14 of 18 hospitals that publish insurer rates for this code here, the cash price is below the highest rate a health plan has negotiated, and at 2 it is 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 foot X-ray takes pictures of the bones of one foot from at least three angles. It is ordered after an injury to look for a fracture, and for pain, swelling, arthritis or bone spurs.
What the price covers
The hospital price usually covers taking the images of one foot. The radiologist's reading is often billed separately.
