Before you schedule

Best value Chesapeake General Hospital — $214 3★ CMS rating
You could save $67 by choosing the lowest-priced facility
Virginia average $454 — prices near Chesapeake 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

A chest X-ray in Chesapeake runs anywhere from $214 to $495 depending on where you go—that's more than double the cheapest option. Chesapeake General Hospital has the lowest cash price at $214, which is about half what you'd pay at the most expensive facility in town. Since this is a straightforward imaging test, the quality difference between hospitals is minimal, so choosing based on price makes real sense here.

Before you schedule, call the imaging department at whichever hospital you're considering and confirm their cash price for a two-view chest X-ray—prices can shift. If you have insurance, ask your insurer what they've negotiated at each facility, since what you owe out-of-pocket depends on your deductible and coverage, not just the sticker price. If cash pay is your only option, Chesapeake General's quote puts you well below the state average of $423.

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.

1

"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.
