Ohio has one of the most concentrated hospital markets in the Midwest. Cleveland Clinic and University Hospitals compete in Northeast Ohio (one of the few Ohio markets with genuine competition); OhioHealth and Nationwide Children's dominate Columbus; Kettering Health and Premier Health compete in Dayton. Prices across Ohio's urban markets tend to run near the Midwest median. 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
A small number of hospitals (1) report prices above $283, including The Toledo Hospital at $694, which drives most of the overall spread - excluding them, most facilities cluster in a much tighter band. Setting matters too: the median outpatient price is $65 versus $144 inpatient (about 2.2× 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.
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 | ~$137 |
| Deductible met - 20% coinsurance | ~$27 |
| Out-of-network provider | $301+ |
