Outpatient: lowest $110.60, median $294.60, highest $419.50 — a 3.8× difference within the same market.

As an inpatient, the same code is billed by 24 facilities here, median $394.10. 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 17 of 21 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 single-view abdominal X-ray is a quick picture of the belly. It is used for suspected bowel blockage, severe constipation, swallowed objects and to check tube placement.

What the price covers

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