Quick take
- Ask for the cash price if your deductible isn't met - the median cash price here is $93, and it's often lower than what insurance pays before your deductible is satisfied.
- Ask whether this procedure can be done at a freestanding ambulatory surgical center - they're typically 30-60% cheaper than a hospital for identical care, and most aren't in this hospital-only dataset.
Florida has one of the most fragmented hospital markets in the country - HCA Healthcare (the nation's largest for-profit system, headquartered in Nashville), AdventHealth, BayCare, and dozens of independents compete aggressively in major metros. South Florida prices track higher than the rest of the state, driven by higher wage indices and a larger share of complex specialty care. Rural northern Florida has extensive critical access hospital coverage. X-ray is the most commoditized of all imaging procedures, and price differences are almost entirely explained by facility type: a hospital outpatient chest X-ray can cost 5–10× more than the same study at an urgent care center or independent imaging clinic. For non-emergency X-rays, asking your physician for a referral to an outpatient imaging center rather than a hospital radiology department is the simplest and most reliable cost reduction available.

Why prices vary - and what it means for your coverage
Setting matters too: the median outpatient price is $86 versus $125 inpatient (about 1.5× more), so where a procedure happens often matters more than which hospital you pick. Whether the scan happens in a hospital outpatient department (which adds a separate facility fee) or a freestanding imaging center is usually the single biggest driver of price for this procedure.
On top of the facility price, your actual bill depends on your deductible, your out-of-pocket maximum, and whether every provider involved - not just the facility - is in-network.
| Your situation | Estimated out-of-pocket |
|---|---|
| Deductible not yet met | ~$93 |
| Deductible met - 20% coinsurance | ~$19 |
| Out-of-network provider | $205+ |
