Both hospitals publish a cash price, so no cash prices are missing for this code. HCA Florida Capital Hospital's cash price equals its gross charge. These figures are facility charges only.

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

Gross charge is a hospital's list price, set before discounts and before negotiated insurance rates. Cash price is the amount quoted to self-pay patients. At Tallahassee Memorial Hospital, the gross charge is $805.81 and the cash price is $564.07, which is 70% of gross. At HCA Florida Capital Hospital, the cash price of $1,683.55 is 100% of the gross charge of $1,683.55, so the hospital publishes no self-pay discount for this code. The gap between gross and cash therefore depends on each hospital's own discount policy.

Does insurance cover a chest x-ray?

Whether a chest x-ray is covered depends on the specific plan, so the plan's own materials are the source for coverage details. The price files show negotiated rates for insured patients. At Tallahassee Memorial Hospital, insured rates for code 71046 run from $65.95 to $242.65. At HCA Florida Capital Hospital they run from $182.03 to $1,683.55. People on a high-deductible plan who have not met the deductible usually pay the negotiated rate for the service rather than a small copay.

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

The facility charge is only one possible bill. A radiologist typically bills a separate professional fee for reading and reporting the images. If a physician or other clinician performs an exam or consultation in connection with the x-ray, that visit may be billed on its own. Hospital emergency departments can add a separate facility fee for the visit itself. Some providers also bill separately for supplies or follow-up imaging. These separate bills are not included in the facility prices on this page, and an itemized bill lists each one.
