Dartmouth Health (Dartmouth-Hitchcock) and Catholic Medical Center are New Hampshire's major systems, with a hospital market that is concentrated relative to its population. New Hampshire had a historically high uninsured rate before Medicaid expansion in 2014. Hospital prices trend above the New England average outside Massachusetts. 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
Facility classification matters as much as the hospital itself - a hospital-owned outpatient center adds a facility fee that a freestanding clinic does not. 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.
What you pay out of pocket on top of this depends on your deductible, your plan's out-of-pocket maximum, and whether every provider involved is in-network - not just the facility.
| Your situation | Estimated out-of-pocket |
|---|---|
| Deductible not yet met | ~$70 |
| Deductible met - 20% coinsurance | ~$14 |
| Out-of-network provider | $154+ |
