The prices on this page are self-pay rates, drawn from federal Transparency in Coverage machine-readable files (CPT 74177 — CT abdomen and pelvis with contrast). They represent what a patient might pay without insurance.
Your actual cost depends on: your specific insurance plan, your remaining deductible, your coinsurance percentage, whether you have met your out-of-pocket maximum, whether the facility and provider are both in-network, and any separate anesthesia or implant fees billed independently.
This page does not constitute medical advice. Whether you need this procedure, and which approach is right for you, is a decision to make with a licensed healthcare provider.

How to read this data
Negotiated Rate
The discounted price an insurer has agreed to pay a specific provider. Most insured patients' bills are calculated from this number, not the higher list price hospitals publish separately.
P5, Median, P95
P5 is the rate at the 5th percentile (low end), Median is the middle value, and P95 is the 95th percentile (high end). This range shows how much the same visit can vary between providers.
What this does not tell you
These rates do not tell you what you personally will pay out of pocket. That depends on your specific plan, how much of your deductible you have already met, your coinsurance rate, and whether the provider is in your network. Call your insurer's member line to get your exact estimate.
Why CT Abdomen Pelvis Visit Costs Vary Across Colorado
Colorado's healthcare costs run approximately 7% above national averages, driven by the state's mix of high-cost Denver metro facilities and resource-limited rural areas. The concentration of major health systems along the Front Range creates competitive pricing in urban areas while rural communities face limited options and higher costs.
Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability
Denver's competitive ambulatory surgery center market provides numerous CT Abdomen Pelvis options with varied pricing, while rural counties like Kiowa and Cheyenne may require patients to travel hours for imaging services. Mountain communities such as Aspen and Vail have limited facilities that often charge premium rates due to high operational costs. This geographic disparity means rural patients may face both higher costs and significant travel expenses.
Facility Type and Overhead Costs
Hospital-based imaging centers in Colorado's major health systems like Presbyterian/Saint Joseph, Porter Adventist, and National Jewish Health typically charge higher facility fees than independent outpatient centers. Denver's competitive ASC market has created downward pressure on pricing for outpatient procedures, while hospital-employed radiology groups maintain higher reimbursement rates. The state's high real estate and labor costs particularly impact facility overhead in metro areas.
Insurance Market Competition in Colorado
UHC, Anthem, and Kaiser dominate Colorado's insurance market, with each maintaining different networks and negotiated rate structures for imaging services. This concentration creates varying price points depending on which insurer patients carry, with Kaiser's integrated model often resulting in lower costs for members. The competitive dynamics between these major players have generally kept negotiated rates more favorable than in states with less insurer competition.
Physician Supply and Demand in Colorado
With 1,656 active CT Abdomen Pelvis providers across the state, Colorado maintains adequate imaging capacity in urban areas but faces shortages in rural regions. This supply distribution means competitive pricing in Denver and Colorado Springs while rural areas may have limited options and higher costs. The concentration of providers along the Front Range has created a two-tiered market with different pricing structures for urban versus rural facilities.
