This happened to us years a few years ago when my kid broke her leg. We went to an emergency care clinic, they did an x-ray and put a cast on her, and it cost all of like $200. We also did a follow up visit which was $120. Then we had to do some physical therapy, six visits at $50 each. All and all it was $620, which is about what it would cost us for two months of healthcare for my kid.
They charge you a lot less if you don't have insurance, and a lot more when you do.
