About Chest X-Ray
A chest X-ray is one of the most common imaging tests, providing images of the heart, lungs, blood vessels, and bones of the chest. It is used to evaluate cough, shortness of breath, chest pain, and to screen for conditions like pneumonia and heart failure.
Understanding Your Bill
Chest X-ray bills are typically straightforward: a facility fee and a radiologist reading fee. Two-view X-rays cost slightly more than single-view.
