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 Maine
Maine's healthcare costs run approximately 12% above national averages, driven by the state's rural geography and concentrated insurance market dominated by just a few major players. The Pine Tree State's sparse population density creates unique cost pressures as imaging centers must serve large geographic areas with relatively few patients.
Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability
The Portland metro area concentrates most of Maine's advanced imaging facilities, while residents of Aroostook County or Down East may travel over 100 miles for specialized scans. This geographic disparity creates higher costs for rural patients who must factor in travel expenses, while urban centers can achieve economies of scale that somewhat offset facility overhead.
Facility Type and Overhead Costs
Maine Medical Center and Northern Light Health dominate the hospital-based imaging market, typically charging premium rates for CT scans performed in their facilities. Independent imaging centers like those found in Biddeford or Bangor often offer competitive pricing but may have longer wait times due to high demand and limited capacity.
Insurance Market Competition in Maine
With Anthem, Harvard Pilgrim, and UnitedHealthcare controlling most of the commercial insurance market, Maine lacks the competitive pricing pressure seen in states with more insurer options. This concentration allows these companies to negotiate rates that may favor their bottom line over patient affordability, contributing to the state's above-average imaging costs.
Physician Supply and Demand in Maine
Maine's 1,566 active CT imaging providers represent adequate coverage for the state's 1.4 million residents, though geographic distribution remains uneven. The concentration of radiologists in southern Maine creates competitive pricing in the Portland area while potentially limiting options and increasing costs in rural regions where demand may exceed local capacity.
