Negotiation Tips

X-rays are among the most marked-up imaging studies -- Medicare pays about $55 while hospitals routinely charge $300-700
Check whether the technical and professional components are billed separately -- you should not pay more than the total for both combined
Urgent care clinics and freestanding imaging centers charge 50-75% less than hospital emergency departments for the same X-ray
If multiple views were taken, verify each view is a separate legitimate image and not a duplicate charge
