It is my understanding that insurance companies, in their infinite wisdom, no longer pay for X-Ray's taken with machines in a Doctor's office in the USA. The Dr has to write you a prescription for the x-ray, then you take that to a hospital or one of many businesses that have sprung up to fill this need.

Perhaps this was due to old machine becoming obsolete, but, I am thinking it is more about the insurance company saving money.

More likely collusion between insurance co's and medical co's, something we're starting to see in the UK...

I think they will pay as long as the Dr's office is a certified ER clinic with triage but It has been a long time since I've seen a stand alone GP's office
