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
A shoulder X-ray in Roanoke ranges from $198 to $829 depending on where you go—that's a four-fold difference for the same procedure. Carilion Medical Center, the facility listed here, charges $322.80 as a cash price, which is right at the median for the city. The wider issue is that Roanoke's prices overall run lower than the state average of $580, so you're in a relatively affordable market. The real savings opportunity isn't between hospitals here—it's between paying cash upfront versus letting insurance handle it, since gross charges to insurers are typically much higher.
Before you schedule, call Carilion's billing department and ask for their cash price for a shoulder X-ray to confirm it's still $322.80 and whether they'll lock that in if you pay at time of service. If that price feels high, you have room to shop—the $198 minimum shows competitors in your area can do it for significantly less. Ask those cheaper facilities the same question. Get the answer in writing before your appointment so there's no surprise at checkout.
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.
