Before going for an X-ray, you might have two questions: whether urgent care provides X-ray services and, if yes, what the charges are for X-rays. 

Most urgent care clinics provide X-ray services. Well, the charges can vary from clinic to clinic, depending on the type of X-ray you requested.

In this blog, we will not only explore the details of X-ray costs but also reveal the elements that impact X-ray costs. 

Having said that, let’s spill the beans on X-ray pricing and how it varies with different factors.

What Are The Factors That Decide Your X-ray Costs?

Once you understand the key factors that contribute to X-ray cost, you’ll be able to make informed decisions comfortably. It is very important to know why the cost of an X-ray varies from clinic to clinic. Let’s go through the factors that influence the cost of X-rays: 

1. Location

The cost of an X-ray can vary from state to state. In cities where the cost of living is high, some facilities might charge more for X-ray services, therefore, you might have to pay more.

Additionally, in some rural areas where the cost of living is lower, some urgent care clinics might have lower charges for X-rays.

2. Facility Service

Hospitals hire specialized radiology staff who work round the clock and have gone through comprehensive training and education. They are also equipped to handle a wider range of medical conditions and emergencies, so the cost of an X-ray is higher in a hospital than in an urgent care clinic. 

If you need a plain X-ray, urgent care clinics are affordable because they have a lower overhead cost and they also work with different insurance companies, thereby, keeping the fees affordable for the patients. 

3. Insurance Coverage

The price of an X-ray depends on your insurance plan. If your insurance plan covers an X-ray imaging, you will pay less. However, if you don’t have insurance or your plan does not cover X-rays, you will have to bear out-of-pocket costs to adjust the X-ray charges. 

Many insurance companies provide healthcare coverage along with the cost of X-rays, so the patient has to pay only a portion of the cost, such as copayment and coinsurance, rather than the full amount. 

However, if you do not have any insurance coverage for X-rays, then the cost will be increased.

4. Types of X-rays 

The cost of an X-ray depends on the type being performed. Generally, standard X-rays, which are used to visualize bones and fractures, are affordable compared to other X-rays, such as CT scans or MRIs. 

Some common types of X-rays done in urgent care clinics are plain X-rays of different areas, such as the chest, abdomen, hand, paranasal sinuses, skull, bone, and joints. 

The advanced technology involved in CT scans and MRI imaging demands state-of-the-art machinery and the services of skilled radiologists who can interpret the results accurately. Due to the heavy maintenance cost and advanced features, the cost of these X-rays is higher than that of common X-rays mentioned above.  

How Much Do X-rays Cost With Insurance?

Most of the time, X-ray costs are covered by the insurance plan, but in some cases, if your deductible is not settled, then your insurance might not cover your requested medical services. 

First, you have to settle the deductible, and then insurance will cover your requested health expenses. Depending on your plan, you may also have to pay other payments, such as copayment and coinsurance, during every visit or procedure. 

How Much Do X-rays Cost Without Insurance?

The cost of an X-ray depends on whether you have insurance or not. Most insurance plans cover the cost of an X-ray, so patients have to pay less, but if they do not have any insurance, they will have to pay more for an X-ray.

The cost of an X-ray depends on which one is being performed. For example, some clinics charge $100 for a full body, $110 for a finger, and $290 for a pelvis X-ray.

Some government insurers, like Medicaid and public-funded clinics, offer X-rays at a reduced rate for people with lower incomes.

They were outstanding. Check in was easy and quick despite being a new patient, and the care was superb. Found them in an emergency situation and they were above and beyond any provider I have found in an immediate care situation. Not too long of a wait despite being a walk in, patient & kind staff, good communication, excellent medical skills, thorough care. I will never go anywhere else for urgent care again.

I can hear with rib pain and was taken care of quickly. The guys in the front were quick and helped set up really fast. Dr. Lena Farah was great in explaining everything the pain could be from as well as what it could NOT be from which really helped assure me. She was super comprehensive as to what every symptom I could have was from. She was very educated and very nice when discussing what I came there for.
