Before you schedule

Best value UVA Health Haymarket Medical Center — $221 4★ CMS rating
You could save $835 by choosing the lowest-priced facility
Virginia average $454 — prices near Alexandria are below average
Call billing before you schedule Ask: "What is the cash price for this procedure?" — if you haven't met your deductible, it may be hundreds less than going through insurance
Expect a separate bill These are facility fees. Your doctor, radiologist, or anesthesiologist bills separately — ask about those costs too

If you're getting a chest X-ray in Alexandria, your price can swing wildly depending on where you go—from around $221 to over $1,000 for the same image. The good news is that the two closest options to you (INOVA Alexandria and INOVA Mount Vernon) both charge $247, which is right at the median for the area and well below what Virginia averages. Unless your doctor has a specific reason to use a different facility, either INOVA location should keep you in a reasonable price zone.

Before you schedule, call the imaging department at whichever INOVA you're closer to and confirm that $247 is the cash price for a two-view chest X-ray—facility billing codes can vary slightly. If you have insurance, ask your plan directly what your out-of-pocket cost will be, since that's usually lower than the cash price. If cost is tight and you don't have insurance, ask if the hospital has financial assistance; nonprofits are required to have programs, though not all advertise them clearly.

Questions to ask when you call

Before scheduling, call the hospital's billing department. These are the exact questions that get you the answers you need.

"What is your cash price for Chest X-Ray 2 Views?"

If you haven't met your deductible, the cash price may be lower than what your insurance negotiates. Many hospitals will honor their published cash price if you ask.

2

"What will my insurance plan pay for this, and what's my out-of-pocket?"

Get a written estimate. Ask them to include your deductible status and coinsurance percentage. This is called a "Good Faith Estimate" and you're legally entitled to one.

3

"Are there any other charges I should expect — radiologist, anesthesiologist, or facility fees?"

These prices are facility fees. Your doctor, radiologist, and anesthesiologist bill separately. Ask how much those could add.
