Chest X-ray Cost in Pensacola, FL

A two-view chest x-ray is an imaging exam in which a technologist positions the patient in front of an x-ray detector and captures images from the front and from the side. The exam is brief and produces digital images that a radiologist then reviews and summarizes in a written report. The hospital facility fee covers the use of the room, the equipment and the technologist's time. This page lists prices for one billing code, 71046, described as Chest X-ray, 2 Views. The figures come from the price transparency files that CMS requires hospitals to publish, and they cover five hospitals in the Pensacola area.

Data may be outdated

This hospital's pricing file has not been updated since 01/01/2026 (287 days ago). Prices may not reflect current charges. Contact the hospital directly for current pricing.

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 side by side
The gross charge is the hospital's full list price before any discount. The cash price is what a self-pay patient is offered, and the insured range runs from the lowest to the highest rate negotiated with health plans. At Ascension Sacred Heart Pensacola, the gross charge is $379, the cash price is $151.60 (40% of gross) and insured rates run from $67.80 to $330.99. At Gulf Breeze Hospital, the cash price of $177.75 is 15% of the $1,185 gross charge. Patients on a high-deductible plan who have not yet met the deductible usually pay the plan's negotiated rate, not the gross charge.

What the single code covers
Every row on this page uses code 71046, Chest X-ray, 2 Views, so the figures are directly comparable and no code-to-code differences apply. The gross charges for this one code run from $90 at Baptist Hospital (Pensacola) to $1,841.75 at HCA Florida West Hospital. The code describes the facility's imaging service. The radiologist's reading of the images is a separate professional service and is not part of these figures.

Why Chest X-ray Prices Vary

Gross charges and discounts by system
Gross charges on this page are about 20x apart, from $90 at Baptist Hospital (Pensacola) to $1,841.75 at HCA Florida West Hospital. Discount policies also differ. HCA Florida West Hospital publishes a cash price equal to its gross charge, or 100%, with no self-pay discount shown. Gulf Breeze Hospital and Santa Rosa Medical Center each list a cash price at 15% of gross, which are $177.75 and $208.49. Excluding the hospital whose cash price equals gross, published cash prices run from $151.60 to $208.49. Baptist Hospital (Pensacola) has no published cash price, which is missing data and not a price of zero.

Other facilities and plan-to-plan variation
Outpatient imaging centers and other facilities outside this dataset may price the same exam differently. Plan-to-plan variation is also wide. At Baptist Hospital (Pensacola), the payer table lists 298 published rates for code 71046, from $10.17 for AETNA MEDICARE to $1,185 for CIGNA INDEMNITY. The highest rate there is about 117x the lowest.

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

Published cash prices on this page range from $151.60 to $1,841.75 (including hospitals that publish cash equal to gross charge, marked with * in the table). The lowest insured rate in the price table is $10.17 (Baptist Hospital (Pensacola)). 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 the code, then ask for the cash number. The code on this page is CPT 71046, chest X-ray, 2 views. Ask the ordering office to confirm the exact code first, since a different number of views or an order with or without contrast changes the code and the price. Then ask each hospital's billing office for its cash or self-pay price for 71046 and an itemized estimate in writing.

Put a quote next to the page's figures. Cash prices for this code run from $151.60 at Ascension Sacred Heart Pensacola to $208.49 at Santa Rosa Medical Center. HCA Florida West Hospital publishes cash equal to its gross charge of $1,841.75, so no separate cash discount appears there. If a quote or bill lands far above these figures, ask the billing office to explain the difference line by line.

Read the bill for who is charging what. The amounts here are the hospital's facility (technical) charge only. Check for:

The facility line for 71046, matched against the code you were quoted.
A separate bill from the radiologist who reads the images, which is not included in these prices.
Any added lines for contrast, if the order included it.

Know what this page leaves out. Baptist Hospital (Pensacola) has no published cash price, which means the data is missing, not that the X-ray is free. No gross charges are missing on this page. Outpatient and freestanding imaging centers are not in this dataset and may price differently, so ask them for a quote using the same code.

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 Pensacola?

Published cash prices for a chest x-ray in Pensacola run from $151.60 at Ascension Sacred Heart Pensacola to $1,841.75 at HCA Florida West Hospital. HCA Florida West Hospital's cash price equals its gross charge, with no self-pay discount published. Excluding that hospital, cash prices run from $151.60 to $208.49 at Santa Rosa Medical Center. Gulf Breeze Hospital lists $177.75. Baptist Hospital (Pensacola) has no published cash price, so that figure is missing data. These amounts are facility charges only. Professional fees, such as the radiologist's reading of the images, are billed separately.

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

The gross charge is a list price that few patients actually pay, while the cash price is the amount a hospital offers a self-pay patient. On this page the gap varies by hospital. Ascension Sacred Heart Pensacola's cash price is 40% of its gross charge. Gulf Breeze Hospital and Santa Rosa Medical Center each list cash prices at 15% of gross. HCA Florida West Hospital shows a cash price at 100% of gross, so no discount appears. Gross charges on this page are about 20x apart, from $90 to $1,841.75, which reflects differences in how each hospital sets its list prices.

Does insurance cover a chest x-ray?

Whether a chest x-ray is covered depends on the specific plan, so the plan's own documents are the place to confirm details. The hospital files show negotiated rates, which vary by insurer. At Ascension Sacred Heart Pensacola, insured rates run from $67.80 to $330.99. At HCA Florida West Hospital they run from $182.03 to $1,841.75. At Baptist Hospital (Pensacola), 298 published rates range from $10.17 to $1,185. 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.

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

The facility charge is only one part of the billing for a chest x-ray. A separate professional bill from the radiologist who reads and reports on the images is common. If the exam is ordered during a visit to an emergency department, urgent care or physician office, that visit may generate its own facility or provider charges. Some patients also receive a separate bill from an outside radiology group that contracts with the hospital. An itemized bill or the hospital's billing office can show which charges are included in each bill.

What is the highest chest x-ray price in Pensacola?

The highest published price is $1,841.75 at HCA Florida West Hospital for CPT 71046. Its cash price equals its gross charge, so no self-pay discount is published there. Among hospitals that do list a discount, the highest cash price is $208.49 at Santa Rosa Medical Center. All figures are facility charges only.
