Common questions
How much does a hand or wrist X-ray cost without insurance?
About $80.83 using Medicare’s national non-facility amount for this scan, the public benchmark for a cash price (2026 (October release)). An imaging center may add its own facility or reading fee. The real price depends on where you go.
Why is this a Medicare price?
Medicare publishes national rates for every billing code. They are a public, checkable benchmark, so we use them instead of guessing. Cash prices at a given lab, center or clinic can be higher or lower.
Do I need an order for this scan?
Most imaging centers need an order from a licensed clinician. Chest pain, sudden weakness or trouble speaking means call 911, not a scheduled scan.
Is this Pymander’s price?
No. It is a public outside benchmark that Pymander does not set. Ask for the exact price before you book.
