Before you schedule
A shoulder X-ray in Fairfax ranges from $261 to $1,287 depending on where you go — nearly a five-fold difference for the exact same image. Most facilities cluster around $298 for the cash price, which is what you'd pay out-of-pocket if you self-pay or have a high deductible. Inova Fair Oaks, the facility shown here, is priced right at that median and has strong ratings, so if that's your closest option or your doctor's preferred location, you're looking at a straightforward, affordable imaging visit.
Before you book, call Inova Fair Oaks's billing department and confirm the $298 cash price applies to your specific situation — sometimes imaging prices shift based on whether it's ordered as standalone or part of a larger workup. If you have insurance, also ask your insurance company what they'll cover and what your out-of-pocket responsibility actually is, since that's usually lower than the full cash price. If cost is your main concern, you have real savings potential by shopping the lower-priced facilities in the area.
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 Shoulder X-Ray?"
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.
