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 Idaho
Idaho's healthcare costs run approximately 3% below national averages, reflecting the state's rural character and lower overhead costs compared to major metropolitan markets. The significant geographic distances between population centers create unique access challenges that influence imaging pricing and availability.
Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability
Boise and surrounding areas offer multiple imaging options with competitive pricing, while rural counties may have limited facilities requiring patients to travel significant distances. This geographic disparity often results in higher effective costs for rural patients when factoring in travel time and expenses.
Facility Type and Overhead Costs
Hospital-based imaging departments at major systems like Saint Alphonsus and Kootenai Health typically charge higher facility fees due to overhead costs and 24/7 availability. Independent imaging centers throughout Idaho often provide the same quality studies at 30-40% lower rates by focusing solely on diagnostic imaging services.
Insurance Market Competition in Idaho
The presence of major insurers Regence BlueCross and PacificSource creates moderate competition that helps contain costs, though rural areas may have fewer in-network options. Limited insurer competition in some markets can result in higher negotiated rates compared to states with more robust insurance competition.
Physician Supply and Demand in Idaho
With 202 active CT Abdomen Pelvis providers serving Idaho's population, the state maintains adequate imaging capacity in urban areas while facing shortages in rural regions. This supply imbalance contributes to longer wait times and potentially higher costs in underserved areas, particularly for non-urgent imaging studies.
