Fast, Affordable X-Ray Imaging With One Clear Price

X-ray, also called radiography, creates images that help healthcare providers evaluate bones, joints, the chest and other parts of the body. The appropriate examination and number of images depend on the clinical question and the order sent by your healthcare provider.

At Hitchcock Direct Imaging, licensed imaging professionals perform your examination and a board-certified radiologist reviews the images. The final report is sent directly to the provider who ordered the study, generally within 48–72 hours and often sooner.

Ask any licensed healthcare provider to fax your X-ray order to **(423) 769-0020**. Once we have received the order, you may walk in during imaging hours. Questions about the process? Call the imaging team at **(423) 456-9134**.

A Needed X-Ray Should Be Simple to Obtain and Simple to Price.

We combine walk-in access, licensed imaging professionals, dependable radiology interpretation and a clear $40 price—without insurance authorization delays or separate facility and radiologist bills.

How it Works

We’ve simplified the imaging process so you can get the scans you need quickly, affordably, and without insurance hassles.

  • ORDER IMAGING

    Ask any licensed healthcare provider to fax your imaging order to (423) 769-0020. You do not need to be a Hitchcock patient.

  • SCHEDULING

    We contact CT and ultrasound patients to arrange a convenient appointment. X-ray patients may walk in during imaging hours after we receive the order.

  • GET RESULTS, PAY ONE PRICE

    Pay the published all-inclusive price at your visit. A board-certified radiologist interprets the study, and the report is generally sent to the ordering provider within 48–72 hours—often sooner.

One Clear, All-Inclusive X-Ray Price

| Study | Price |
| X-ray | $40 |
| Bilateral X-ray add-on, when applicable | $20 |

The price includes the X-ray examination, facility services, board-certified radiologist interpretation, the final report and a digital copy upon request. You will not receive a separate facility or radiologist bill from Hitchcock Direct Imaging.

Patients pay the self-pay price at the time of service. HSA and FSA funds may be used.

What Can an X-Ray Help Evaluate?

Depending on the examination ordered by your healthcare provider, X-rays may help evaluate:

– A possible fracture or dislocation
– Bone alignment and healing
– Joint or arthritic changes
– Certain chest and lung findings
– The position of some medical devices or foreign objects
– Other bone, joint, chest or structural concerns

X-ray is not the best examination for every medical question. Your healthcare provider determines which study is appropriate based on your symptoms, examination and medical history.

What to Expect During Your X-Ray

Most routine X-ray examinations are completed quickly. The technologist will explain how to position the part of the body being examined and may ask you to stand, sit or lie down. You may need to hold still or briefly hold your breath while an image is taken.

The examination itself is painless, although positioning an injured area may be temporarily uncomfortable. The number of images depends on the ordered study and the views needed by the radiologist.

Metal can interfere with some X-ray images. Depending on the area being examined, you may be asked to remove jewelry, eyeglasses, clothing with metal fasteners or other objects before the study.

“Again, easy as can be. ”
“As a new patient, I had some bloodwork done and it said I had high cholesterol (apparently 5 stars also go to Chick-fil-a, In N Out Burger, and the delicious Guatemalan place down the road) but they had the machine to look inside me...now I sound like a child not remember what the machine was but it was in their office. So I made the appointment, showed up the day of, and within 30 minutes was done. Easy as can be. I don't know that I WANT to do it again, but it's nice to know if I need to, it'll be such a painless process and I'm thankful for that.”

Friendly tech with patient in CT scanner
“ I was able to schedule an ultrasound right away. ”
“The tech was kind and knowledgeable. Paid a fraction of what it would have cost through my insurance company. Cannot stress enough how great Dr. H and his entire team are! My daughter and I have been patients for 6 years, we’ve had 4 different insurance policies during that time— we’ve never had to switch docs just because our insurance company decided to change who they work with, and I have saved HOURS of my life (appointments always start on time) and thousands of dollars by being members! - D. L. ”
