Chest X-ray Cost in Port St. Lucie, FL

A chest x-ray with two views is an imaging exam in which a technologist positions the patient in front of an x-ray detector and takes one image from the front and one from the side. The exam produces digital images that a radiologist reviews and turns into a written report. The hospital facility fee covers the room, the equipment, the technologist's time and the processing of the images. This page covers one billing code, 71046 (Chest X-ray, 2 Views), at three hospitals in Port St. Lucie. All prices come from the price transparency files that CMS requires hospitals to publish.

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.

Hospital Cash Price
Cleveland Clinic Martin North $494 Schedule →
HCA Lawnwood * $2,523 * Schedule →
HCA St. Lucie * $1,652 * Schedule →
* 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 charge, cash price and the insured range
The gross charge is the list price a hospital sets before any discount or negotiated rate. The cash price is what a patient without insurance is quoted. At Cleveland Clinic Martin North Hospital the gross charge is $760 and the cash price is $494, which is 65% of gross. At HCA Florida Lawnwood Hospital and HCA Florida St. Lucie Hospital the cash price equals the gross charge, at $2,523 and $1,652, which is 100% of gross, so no self-pay discount is published. The insured range reflects negotiated rates, which are shown as $10.38 to $857 at Cleveland Clinic Martin North Hospital, $137.53 to $2,144.55 at HCA Florida Lawnwood Hospital and $137.53 to $1,404.20 at HCA Florida St. Lucie Hospital. People on a high-deductible plan who have not yet met their deductible usually pay the plan's negotiated rate.

One code across three hospitals
Every row on this page uses code 71046, a two-view chest x-ray. Because the code is identical, the figures describe the same type of service at each hospital. The gross charge for 71046 runs from $760 to $2,523, and the highest gross charge is about 3x the lowest. Differences between rows therefore come from each hospital's own pricing, not from a different code.

Why Chest X-ray Prices Vary

Differences between the three hospitals
The three hospitals belong to two systems. HCA Healthcare accounts for two of them and Cleveland Clinic for one. Cash prices range from $494 at Cleveland Clinic Martin North Hospital to $2,523 at HCA Florida Lawnwood Hospital. The two HCA Healthcare hospitals publish cash prices equal to their gross charges, while Cleveland Clinic Martin North Hospital publishes a cash price at 65% of its gross charge. Cash is above every insured rate at two of the three rows, including HCA Florida Lawnwood Hospital, where cash is $2,523 against insured rates up to $2,144.55.

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 visible at Cleveland Clinic Martin North Hospital, where 239 published rates for 71046 run from $10.38 for several Medicare Advantage plans to $857 for several Cigna products. The highest rate in that table is about 83x the lowest.

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

Published cash prices on this page range from $494 to $2,523 (including hospitals that publish cash equal to gross charge, marked with * in the table). The lowest insured rate in the price table is $10.38 (Cleveland Clinic Martin North 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 ordering office first. This page lists 71046, Chest X-ray, 2 Views, for all 3 hospitals. If the order differs, or is with or without contrast, the code changes and so does the price. Then ask the hospital's billing office for its cash or self-pay price and an itemized estimate for that code.

Compare the quote with what this page shows. Two hospitals publish a cash price identical to the gross charge: HCA Florida Lawnwood Hospital at $2,523 and HCA Florida St. Lucie Hospital at $1,652. At both, cash sits above every insured rate listed, so a cash quote is worth checking against any insured rate your plan has negotiated. Cleveland Clinic Martin North Hospital lists cash at $494, with insured rates starting at $10.38.

  • Check that the facility charge on a bill matches the quoted hospital charge for 71046.
  • Look for a separate bill from the radiologist who reads the images. This page shows only the hospital (technical) charge.
  • Ask whether any other line items were added to the visit.

Know what is outside this data. Outpatient and freestanding imaging centers are not included and may price differently. On this page, every row has a published cash price and a gross charge, so no $0 or blank figures are hiding here. A $0 or blank in a different quote would mean missing data, not a free service.

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 Port St. Lucie?

Cash prices for a two-view chest x-ray (71046) at the three Port St. Lucie hospitals in this dataset run from $494 at Cleveland Clinic Martin North Hospital to $2,523 at HCA Florida Lawnwood Hospital. HCA Florida St. Lucie Hospital lists $1,652. All three hospitals publish a cash price for this code, so none is missing data. Two of them list a cash price equal to the gross charge. These figures are facility charges only. A radiologist's professional fee for reading the images is billed separately and is not included in them.

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

The gross charge is a list price set before discounts, and few patients pay it in full. At Cleveland Clinic Martin North Hospital the gross charge is $760 and the cash price is $494, which is 65% of gross. At HCA Florida Lawnwood Hospital and HCA Florida St. Lucie Hospital, the cash price is 100% of gross, at $2,523 and $1,652, because no self-pay discount is published. Across the three hospitals, the highest gross charge is about 3x the lowest. Gross charges also serve as the starting point for negotiated insurer rates, which can sit well below them.

Does insurance cover a chest x-ray?

Whether insurance covers a chest x-ray depends on the specific plan, so a plan's own materials or its insurer are the source for coverage details. The price files list negotiated rates for 71046 at all three hospitals: $10.38 to $857 at Cleveland Clinic Martin North Hospital, $137.53 to $2,144.55 at HCA Florida Lawnwood Hospital and $137.53 to $1,404.20 at HCA Florida St. Lucie Hospital. If you are on a high-deductible plan and have not met your deductible, you usually pay the plan's negotiated rate for the facility charge until the deductible is met.

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

The facility charge is usually only one part of the bills tied to a chest x-ray. A radiologist typically bills a professional fee separately for reading and reporting on the images. If the exam is done as part of an emergency room visit, a clinic visit or a hospital stay, the visit itself may generate separate facility and physician charges. Some patients also receive a separate bill from the ordering physician's practice. Because each of these can come from a different billing entity, they may arrive as separate statements. An itemized bill lists each charge individually.

What is the cash price for a chest x-ray at Cleveland Clinic Martin North Hospital?

Cleveland Clinic Martin North Hospital publishes a cash price of $494 for CPT 71046, Chest X-ray, 2 Views. Its gross charge is $760, so the cash price is 65% of gross.

These are facility charges only. HCA Florida St. Lucie Hospital publishes a cash price of $1,652, which falls between the two.

Do HCA Florida Lawnwood Hospital and HCA Florida St. Lucie Hospital offer a self-pay discount on chest x-rays?

Based on published data, no. HCA Florida Lawnwood Hospital lists a cash price of $2,523 and HCA Florida St. Lucie Hospital lists $1,652 for 71046, each equal to its gross charge, so no self-pay discount is published.

CPT 71046 is the billing code for Chest X-ray, 2 Views, and it is the only code on this page. All three Port St. Lucie area hospitals list prices under it.
