WVU Medicine and CAMC (Charleston Area Medical Center) are the primary academic systems, with Thomas Health and Highmark's West Penn Allegheny network providing additional coverage. West Virginia has one of the lowest wage indices in the country, which depresses Medicare-adjusted rates significantly - but commercial rates don't always follow the same pattern. Many rural facilities are critical access hospitals. 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.

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.
