Your chest X-ray in Roanoke can cost anywhere from $143 to $1,294 depending on where you go — that's a ninefold difference for the exact same procedure. Carilion Medical Center's cash price of $249 is right at the middle of that range and notably cheaper than the statewide average of $423, which makes it a solid choice if you're paying out of pocket or have a high deductible. The wide spread here means you have real savings available by shopping around before you schedule.

Before you book, call the imaging department at each facility you're considering and ask for their cash price for a two-view chest X-ray — get it in writing if you can. If you're using insurance, verify with your plan whether they cover imaging at that location and what your copay or coinsurance would be. Ask about same-day or next-day appointments too, since you likely need this soon; sometimes the cheapest option won't have availability when you need it.

Questions to ask when you call

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

"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.
