What this price typically doesn't include
Procedure codes generally cover the procedure itself. Other services that often appear on the same bill are listed under separate codes — for example:
- Anesthesia (CPT 00xxx)
- Pathology, if a sample is taken (CPT 88xxx)
- Drugs administered during the visit (J-codes)
- Facility vs. professional split — one charge from the hospital, another from the doctor
- Room and board, if the procedure is inpatient
Asking what other codes might appear on the bill is a useful follow-up so the total is not a surprise. Once you receive the bill, asking for an itemized statement listing each service code separately makes it easier to match against the disclosed prices above.

Before you schedule
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
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.
"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.
"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.
