Xray Cost in Washington (2026): Average Prices & What You'll Pay

What does a xray cost in Washington?

Expect roughly $65 to $188 for an xray in Washington if you're commercially insured - that range already folds in both the facility charge and the physician fee. The median reported facility price across 68 hospitals is $91. It's built from CMS fee schedules and federally mandated hospital price transparency data.

Quick take

  • Public Hospital District No 4 King County WA is the lowest-cost option at $28 - $63 below the state median, just by choosing where you go.
  • Ask for the cash price if your deductible isn't met - the median cash price here is $91, 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.

How where you go changes what you pay for xray

The same xray bundles different services depending on the setting - facility fee, surgeon fee, and anesthesia each arrive as separate bills. Estimated ranges below reflect the typical full bundled cost, including all expected charges.

Providence Health, Swedish Health Services (a Providence affiliate), and UW Medicine compete in the Western Washington market. Kaiser Permanente Washington has substantial commercial market share in the Puget Sound area. Eastern Washington operates as a distinct, lower-cost market anchored by Providence and MultiCare. Washington state has active price transparency enforcement. 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 (3) report prices above $399, including Snohomish County Public Hospital District No. 1 at $283, 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 $86 versus $139 inpatient (about 1.6× 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 ~$109
Deductible met - 20% coinsurance ~$22
Out-of-network provider $240+

Frequently asked questions: X-ray costs in Washington

How much does an X-ray cost in Washington?

Across 68 Washington hospitals that publish prices, an X-ray ranges from $30 to $4,671, with a median of $91. Most facilities fall between $44 and $163. What you pay depends on the facility, your insurance, and whether you have met your deductible.

Where is the cheapest place to get an X-ray in Washington?

Based on declared prices, the lowest-cost facility in our Washington data is Astria Sunnyside Hospital at about $20. By metro, Vancouver has the lowest median ($30). Freestanding ambulatory surgery and imaging centers are often cheaper still and may not appear in hospital price data - ask your doctor whether one is an option.

Why is an X-ray so much cheaper at some Washington hospitals?

Prices vary up to 155.7× because each hospital sets its own list price, cash discount, and insurer-negotiated rates. In Washington, the median cash (self-pay) price is $91 versus a median negotiated rate of $31 - about 2.9× higher. Asking for the cash price or your insurer's negotiated rate is often the single biggest lever on what you pay.

How much will I actually pay out of pocket for an X-ray in Washington?

Your out-of-pocket cost depends on your deductible, coinsurance, out-of-pocket maximum, and whether the facility is in-network - not just the sticker price. If you have not met your deductible, you will typically pay the negotiated rate in full until you do. Use the CostKits cost forecaster to estimate your specific out-of-pocket amount before you go.
