X-Rays and Health Insurance
Using X-rays, or radiography, to view the internal structures of the human body is a procedure that many people experience at one time or another in their lives. After chemical lab tests, X-rays are the most commonly used medical test. From the examination of broken bones to cancer screenings, the X-ray is a very useful diagnostic tool.
However, not having health insurance means that the costs of X-rays and diagnostic tests add up quickly. The same is true of inadequate health coverage. Do not get caught with less insurance than you need or no insurance at all. To discuss your options, get in touch with a California insurance agent at Catherine Michaels Insurance Services by calling 1-888-875-9888.
Types of X-Rays
The most common type of X-ray is taken via projection radiography. This method uses differing strengths of X-rays in order to image different parts of the body, depending on the density of that area. Below are some examples of X-rays that differ based on X-ray strength:
- Dental radiography
- Mammography
- Soft tissue exams
- Hard tissue (bone) exams
While X-rays are relatively inexpensive, a doctor often has to take multiple X-rays in order to get a comprehensive look at the area in question. The good news is that many health insurance policies cover X-rays.
