Important: These are cost estimates only — not a quote and not medical advice.
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 Georgia
Georgia's healthcare costs run approximately 1% below national averages, benefiting from moderate competition between health systems and a growing ambulatory surgery center market. The state's mix of urban centers like Atlanta and vast rural areas creates significant cost disparities for imaging services across different regions.
Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability
Metro Atlanta offers the highest concentration of imaging centers and competitive pricing, while rural counties in south Georgia often have limited options requiring patients to travel 50+ miles for specialized imaging. Rural facilities may charge premium rates due to lower patient volumes and higher overhead costs per procedure. Some rural hospitals have partnered with teleradiology services to provide after-hours interpretations while maintaining local imaging capabilities.
Facility Type and Overhead Costs
Hospital-owned imaging centers typically charge 40-70% more than independent facilities due to higher overhead costs and facility fees in Georgia. Major health systems like Piedmont Healthcare, Northside Hospital, and Augusta University Health dominate the market in urban areas. Independent imaging centers and outpatient facilities often provide the most cost-effective options for routine CT Abdomen Pelvis procedures.
Insurance Market Competition in Georgia
Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield holds the largest market share in Georgia, followed by UHC and Cigna, creating moderate insurer competition that helps control negotiated rates. The individual marketplace offers limited carrier options in many counties, reducing competitive pressure on pricing. Self-insured employer plans often negotiate directly with imaging centers for better rates than standard insurance contracts.
Physician Supply and Demand in Georgia
With over 3,300 active CT Abdomen Pelvis providers, Georgia maintains adequate radiologist supply in urban areas but faces shortages in rural regions. This supply-demand imbalance contributes to higher costs in underserved areas where patients have fewer options. The state's medical schools and residency programs help maintain radiologist supply, but recruitment to rural areas remains challenging and affects regional pricing patterns.
