But we are just talking about an x ray here. Estimating the price of a radiologist per hour is not hard.
It shouldn’t be this difficult to price x rays at a per hour or per shot basis.
Pretty much every industry has variability in their jobs. Sometimes they eat some money and sometimes they make more based on what actually happens during the job fulfillment.
No one expects (or should expect) hospitals to literally know the amount of parts and labor for every single x ray they could perform. However, like literally every other business, they should know rates and tiers such that on average they make money. Then, disclose that.
