with UnitedHealthcare data

UnitedHealthcare chest X-ray rates across 37 Dallas-Fort Worth hospitals range from $10.66 to $419.96, a striking 39x price difference. The lowest rate at Parkland Health reflects a Medicare Advantage plan, while commercial rates typically fall closer to the $83.86 median.

Why the range is so wide: UnitedHealthcare negotiates different rates for different plan types. Medicaid-managed and Medicare Advantage plans typically have the lowest negotiated rates.

Rates shown are UnitedHealthcare's published negotiated rates from each hospital's CMS transparency file. "Lowest rate" is the lowest rate across all UnitedHealthcare plan types (including Medicaid-managed and Medicare Advantage) at that hospital. Commercial plan rates are typically higher. Your actual cost depends on your specific plan's deductible, copay, and coinsurance.

Understanding UnitedHealthcare Negotiated Rates

A negotiated rate is the price UnitedHealthcare has agreed to pay a hospital for a specific service. This is not necessarily what you pay out of pocket. If you have met your annual deductible, you typically pay a copay or coinsurance percentage of the negotiated rate. If you have not met your deductible, you may owe the full negotiated rate.

The same insurer often negotiates different rates at different hospitals, and different plan types (HMO, PPO, high-deductible) within the same insurer can have different rates at the same hospital. The table above shows the range across all UnitedHealthcare plan types at each facility.

Prices shown are facility fees only. You will also receive separate bills from the physician performing the procedure.
