Chest X-ray Cost in Orlando, FL

A chest x-ray is an imaging exam in which a technologist positions the patient between an x-ray source and a detector and captures two views, commonly one from the front and one from the side. The exam produces digital images that a radiologist reviews and reports on. The hospital facility fee covers the equipment, the technologist, the room and the hospital's overhead, and it is billed separately from the radiologist's reading. This page covers one billing code, 71046 (Chest X-ray, 2 Views), at 10 Orlando-area hospitals. All figures come from the price transparency files that CMS requires hospitals to publish.

Data may be outdated

This hospital's pricing file has not been updated since 2026-03-31 (198 days ago). Prices may not reflect current charges. Contact the hospital directly for current pricing.

Limited coverage: Orlando Health's Orlando-area hospitals, including Orlando Regional Medical Center, are not included: Orlando Health's website blocked downloads of its price files when we collected this data. Prices for the Orlando area come only from the AdventHealth, HCA Florida, UF Health and Nemours hospitals listed here, so they may not reflect the whole Orlando market.

Scope note: These are hospital facility fees only. Standalone imaging centers (not hospitals) often charge significantly less for outpatient imaging but are not covered by the CMS Hospital Price Transparency Rule, so they are not included in this data. We currently track only hospital-published prices.

* Hospitals marked with * publish cash prices equal to their gross charges, meaning no separate self-pay discount appears in their transparency file. The insured rates shown are negotiated rates between the hospital and specific insurance plans. Uninsured patients may be able to negotiate lower rates by contacting the hospital directly.

What These Prices Mean

Gross, cash and insured figures
The gross charge is the hospital's list price before any discounts. The cash price is what a self-pay patient is quoted. The insured range shows the lowest and highest negotiated rates the hospital has published for commercial plans. On this page, gross charges run from $241 at UF Health Leesburg Hospital to $3,210 at HCA Florida Osceola Hospital. Eight of the 10 hospitals publish a cash price equal to the gross charge, which means no self-pay discount is shown in their files. The two UF Health hospitals list cash at 55% of gross. People on a high-deductible plan who have not yet met the deductible usually pay the plan's negotiated rate, not the gross charge.

How the single code reads
Every row on this page uses 71046, a two-view chest x-ray. Because only one code appears, the figures compare the same service across hospitals rather than different exam types. At HCA Florida Osceola Hospital, the insured range runs from $182.03 to $3,412.25. At UF Health The Villages Hospital, it runs from $35.59 to $298.80.

Why Chest X-ray Prices Vary

Differences between hospitals and systems
The cash range on this page runs from $132.55 at UF Health Leesburg Hospital to $3,210 at HCA Florida Osceola Hospital. Excluding hospitals where cash equals gross, the range narrows to $132.55 to $198 at UF Health The Villages Hospital. The highest gross charge is about 13x the lowest. Of the 4 systems shown, HCA Healthcare has 5 hospitals, AdventHealth 2, UF Health 2 and Nemours Children's Health 1. Only the UF Health hospitals publish a discounted cash price, at 55% of gross. The others list cash equal to gross.

Outside this dataset and between plans
Outpatient imaging centers and other facilities are not part of this dataset and may price the same exam differently. Plan-to-plan variation is also visible. The payer table for HCA Florida Poinciana Hospital lists 99 published rates for 71046, from $182.03 to $2,460.45, and the highest is about 14x the lowest. At six hospitals, the cash price is above every insured rate listed.

Paying cash? Health insurance could lower your Chest X-ray cost.

Published cash prices on this page range from $132.55 to $3,210 (including hospitals that publish cash equal to gross charge, marked with * in the table). The lowest insured rate in the price table is $29.43 (HCA Florida Lake Monroe Hospital). Insured rates depend on the plan, and the lowest are often Medicaid, CHIP or Medicare Advantage plans, so they may not reflect what a commercial or marketplace plan pays. If you are uninsured, a marketplace health plan could reduce your out-of-pocket cost for this procedure.

What to Do With These Chest X-ray Prices

Quote 71046 and ask for the cash price in writing. Get the exact CPT code from the office that ordered the X-ray first. This page covers 71046, a chest X-ray with 2 views. Then ask the hospital for its cash or self-pay price and an itemized estimate. A chest X-ray is normally done without contrast, but confirm that the order matches the code you are quoting.

Place the quote against the numbers here. Eight of the 10 hospitals publish a cash price identical to the gross charge, with no discount. For example, AdventHealth Orlando lists cash at $777, while its insured rates run up to $240.83. Only UF Health Leesburg Hospital ($132.55) and UF Health The Villages Hospital ($198) show a cash price below gross. If a quote lands well above the insured range at the same hospital, you can ask why.

Expect the hospital bill and a reading bill. The prices on this page are the hospital's technical charge for taking the image. The radiologist who reads it usually bills separately, so ask whether that fee is included in any quote. Check the bill for a facility fee and any professional fee, and compare each line with your itemized estimate.

Scope and gaps. All 10 hospitals here publish both a gross and a cash price, so no $0 or blank entries need interpreting. Outpatient and freestanding imaging centers are not in this dataset and may price the same X-ray differently, so a quote from one is not comparable to the figures above without asking what it includes.

Financial assistance and discounts. Nonprofit hospitals are required to publish a financial assistance policy, and the billing office can send it with an application. Some hospitals also offer prompt-pay or self-pay discounts; these vary by hospital and are not included in this data. If you are uninsured or not using insurance for scheduled care, you can ask the provider for a good faith estimate before the appointment.

What Patients Ask About Chest X-ray Costs

How much does a chest x-ray cost without insurance in Orlando?

Among the 10 Orlando-area hospitals on this page, cash prices for a two-view chest x-ray (71046) run from $132.55 at UF Health Leesburg Hospital to $3,210 at HCA Florida Osceola Hospital. All 10 hospitals publish a cash price, so none is missing from this dataset. Eight of them list cash equal to gross charge, while UF Health The Villages Hospital lists $198. These amounts are facility charges only. A radiologist's professional fee for reading the images is billed separately and is not included in the figures shown.

Why is the gross charge so much higher than the cash price?

The gross charge is a list price that most patients never pay in full, while the cash price is what the hospital quotes to self-pay patients. At UF Health Leesburg Hospital the gross charge is $241 and the cash price is $132.55, which is 55% of gross. At UF Health The Villages Hospital, gross is $360 and cash is $198, also 55% of gross. At the other eight hospitals, cash is 100% of gross, so no discount is published. That is why gross charges, such as $3,210 at HCA Florida Osceola Hospital, can appear far above the lowest cash prices.

Does insurance cover a chest x-ray?

Whether insurance applies to a chest x-ray depends on your specific plan, so the plan's own documents or the insurer are the sources to check. The hospital files on this page show negotiated rates for insured patients. For 71046, the lowest insured rate is $29.43 at HCA Florida Lake Monroe Hospital and the highest is $3,412.25 at HCA Florida Osceola Hospital. If you have a high-deductible plan and have not met your deductible, you usually pay the plan's negotiated rate for the facility charge. At six hospitals on this page, the cash price is above every listed insured rate.

Are there additional fees beyond the chest x-ray facility charge?

The facility charge on this page is only one part of the cost. A radiologist typically bills a separate professional fee for reading and reporting the images. If the exam is ordered during an emergency department or clinic visit, the visit itself may also generate a separate facility or provider charge. Some patients also receive a bill from the ordering physician's practice. Each of these bills may come from a different organization and may be handled differently by insurance, so itemized statements help show what each charge covers.

What is the cash price for a chest x-ray at UF Health Leesburg Hospital?

UF Health Leesburg Hospital publishes a cash price of $132.55 for CPT 71046, Chest X-ray, 2 Views, against a gross charge of $241. The cash price is 55% of gross. This is a facility charge only and does not include separate professional or radiologist fees.

Which Orlando hospitals publish a cash price below the gross charge for a chest x-ray?

Two of the 10 hospitals show a cash price below gross: UF Health Leesburg Hospital at $132.55 and UF Health The Villages Hospital at $198. Both cash prices are 55% of gross. The other 8 hospitals publish cash equal to gross, so no self-pay discount appears. All figures are facility charges only.

How much does UnitedHealthcare pay for a chest x-ray in Orlando hospitals?

UnitedHealthcare rates for CPT 71046 on this page run from $91.92 at UF Health The Villages Hospital to $257 at Nemours Children's Hospital, Florida, with a median of $182.03 across 10 hospitals. The highest is about 3x the lowest. These are facility rates only and exclude professional fees.
