There is a huge range in pricing for exam room flags. You can pay anywhere from $9.00 on the low-end up to $100.00. Why is there such a big difference? Besides the difference in brand, there are also other considerations to take into account when shopping for exam room flags. It comes down to the type, colors, amount and quality you are looking for in an exam room flag.
If you have a small office or are just looking for a streamlined system, you may opt for a few exam room flags instead of several. Red and green, for example, may be all that you need. In this case, expect to pay on average around $50 per room.

This is beneficial for clinics and health care practices that have a range of needs in which a few flags may not be adequate to suit the needs of the staff. Getting more flags gives you more freedom to assign specific colors to indicate specific signals. For example, white exam room flags may alert staff to a patient waiting inside the room while gray may indicate that the room is empty and ready to be cleaned. A lot of companies they are customizable to the current uses of your team.
Exam room flags are either comprised of scratch-resistant plastic and plexiglass or in some cases steel and are made to handle repeated touch by staff and are easy to clean. They also come in a variety of colors from standard red and blue, pastels and more contemporary shades such as purple, teal and steel blue. Another feature provided by some exam room flags is the ability to change flag orders. This is a great-added benefit for those who want to adjust the colors by preference.
In any case whether $14 or $99, the cost of exam room flags are relatively inexpensive and an affordable system for doctor’s, and dentist’s offices as well as hospitals. Every practice can benefit from the ability to have an easy, identifiable system that maintains patient’s privacy and simply alerts staff to the status of each room.
