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 Illinois
Illinois healthcare costs run approximately 10% above national averages, driven primarily by Chicago's concentration of academic medical centers and higher operational costs in the metropolitan area. The state's diverse geography creates significant cost disparities between urban academic centers and rural community hospitals serving downstate populations.
Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability
The Chicago metropolitan area contains the majority of Illinois's advanced imaging facilities, creating access challenges for residents in rural counties who may need to travel significant distances. This geographic concentration allows urban providers to command higher rates while rural facilities often offer more competitive pricing to attract patients.
Facility Type and Overhead Costs
Hospital-based outpatient radiology departments at major Illinois health systems like Northwestern Medicine, University of Chicago Medicine, and Advocate Aurora typically charge premium rates compared to independent imaging centers. These academic medical centers justify higher costs through subspecialty expertise and advanced technology, while freestanding facilities focus on competitive pricing for routine procedures.
Insurance Market Competition in Illinois
Major insurers BCBS IL, UHC, and Aetna compete actively in the Illinois market, creating multiple network options but also fragmented provider access depending on plan selection. The competitive environment has led to varied negotiated rates across different insurers, with some achieving better pricing at specific facility types than others.
Physician Supply and Demand in Illinois
With 8,716 active CT Abdomen Pelvis providers, Illinois maintains adequate radiologist supply relative to its population, though distribution favors urban areas heavily. This robust provider network in metropolitan areas helps moderate pricing through competition, while rural shortages can limit patient options and maintain higher rates in underserved regions.
