Compared with Medicare

$179.20 is Medicare's 2026 national base rate for this service in a hospital outpatient department, including the patient's share and before the local wage adjustment. The median hospital cash price, $431.85 across 1,389 hospitals, is 2.4× that.

Researchers often measure hospital prices as a multiple of Medicare's rate, and it is a concrete number to mention when you ask a hospital for a cash discount. Source: CMS.

What it is

A swallow study films the mouth and throat on X-ray while you swallow foods and liquids with barium. It shows whether food goes into the airway and is often done with a speech therapist after a stroke.

What the price covers

The price usually covers the X-ray part. The speech therapist's evaluation is billed separately.

Why prices differ

Freestanding imaging centers often charge a fraction of hospital prices for the same study, and hospital prices vary widely.

What to ask

Ask whether the self-pay price for CPT 74230 includes the radiologist's reading.
