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 Fairfax 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 Fairfax ranges from $221 to over $1,000 depending on where you go—nearly a five-fold difference for the same basic test. INOVA Fair Oaks Hospital is pricing at $247, which is right at the median for your area and about 40% cheaper than the state average of $423. That's a meaningful saving if you're paying cash or have a high deductible. The variation this wide usually means some facilities are marking up their gross charges to insurance companies far more aggressively than others, so if you have insurance, your actual out-of-pocket cost will depend on your specific plan and deductible.

Before you schedule, call INOVA Fair Oaks billing at the number on their website and confirm the $247 cash price applies to your specific exam—imaging orders sometimes vary slightly. If you have insurance and haven't met your deductible yet, ask what you'd actually owe after insurance processes the claim. If cost is your main driver and you're flexible on location, it's worth a quick call to one or two of the lower-priced facilities to compare, since the difference between $221 and $247 is small but the difference between either of those and $1,000 is not.

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.
