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 Hawaii
Hawaii's healthcare costs run approximately 16% above national averages due to the state's isolated location, which increases equipment and supply costs for medical facilities. The island geography creates distinct market dynamics where Oahu has concentrated provider competition while neighbor islands face limited options and higher operational expenses.
Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability
Oahu's urban corridor from Honolulu to Pearl City contains most of Hawaii's CT imaging capacity, while neighbor islands like Molokai and Lanai have extremely limited or no local CT services. Patients on outer islands often must travel to Oahu for specialized imaging, adding travel costs and scheduling complexity to their healthcare expenses. This geographic isolation drives up costs and reduces competitive pressure on neighbor island facilities.
Facility Type and Overhead Costs
Hospital systems like Kaiser Permanente, Queens Health System, and Hawaii Pacific Health operate many CT facilities with higher overhead costs reflected in their pricing. Independent imaging centers generally offer lower rates but have more limited geographic presence, particularly outside of Oahu. Shipping costs for replacement parts and specialized contrast agents significantly impact operational expenses across all facility types.
Insurance Market Competition in Hawaii
The concentrated insurance market with HMSA, UHC, and Kaiser as dominant players limits competitive pressure on negotiated rates for CT services. HMSA's strong market position as the Blue Cross Blue Shield affiliate gives it significant leverage in rate negotiations with providers. Kaiser's integrated model creates a closed system where members must use Kaiser facilities, reducing external competitive forces.
Physician Supply and Demand in Hawaii
Hawaii's 99 active CT Abdomen Pelvis providers serve a population of approximately 1.4 million residents plus tourists, creating adequate supply in urban areas but shortages on neighbor islands. The state's desirable lifestyle attracts some specialists but also faces physician retention challenges due to high living costs and professional isolation. Limited competition among radiologists on smaller islands can result in higher pricing and longer wait times for non-urgent studies.
