Hospital The hospital that published the price, its city and the line exactly as written in its price file.

Cash price The hospital's own price for a patient paying without insurance (“discounted cash” in its price file). Hospitals must publish it under federal law, 45 CFR 180.50. Call to confirm it before booking. More

List price The hospital's full chargemaster price (“gross charge”) before any discount. Almost nobody pays it; the gap to the cash price shows what the self-pay discount is worth. More

File date When the hospital last updated its price file, as the file says itself. A dash means the file gives no date.

At or below Medicare This cash price is at or below what Medicare pays a hospital for the same service, which is unusually low. It is what the hospital's file says; confirm it and what it includes before booking. More

No cash discount This line's cash price equals the hospital's full list price. Many hospitals still reduce bills for uninsured patients: ask the billing office for its self-pay discount in writing. More

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.
