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 Maryland
Maryland's healthcare costs run approximately 13% above the national average, driven by the state's proximity to high-cost Washington DC metro area and a regulated hospital pricing system that creates transparency but doesn't always reduce expenses. The state's unique all-payer rate-setting system means CT Abdomen Pelvis pricing is more standardized than in purely market-driven states.
Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability
The Baltimore-Washington corridor contains the majority of Maryland's advanced imaging facilities, creating significant access advantages for urban residents compared to those in rural Eastern Shore or Western Maryland counties. Rural patients often face longer travel distances and fewer scheduling options, though telemedicine consultation for results review has improved access to specialist interpretation.
Facility Type and Overhead Costs
Hospital-owned outpatient imaging centers in Maryland often carry higher facility fees due to increased regulatory compliance costs and emergency department backup capabilities, while independent imaging centers typically offer lower overhead pricing. Major health systems like Johns Hopkins and University of Maryland Medical System operate extensive imaging networks that may offer volume-based pricing advantages.
Insurance Market Competition in Maryland
CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield maintains significant market share in Maryland, joined by UnitedHealthcare and Aetna in creating a moderately competitive insurance environment. This concentration allows larger insurers to negotiate favorable rates with imaging providers, though smaller regional insurers may have less negotiating power and higher patient costs.
Physician Supply and Demand in Maryland
With over 4,000 active CT Abdomen Pelvis providers across Maryland, the state maintains adequate specialist availability relative to its population density, particularly in the Baltimore and DC metro regions. This robust provider supply helps moderate pricing through competition, though rural areas may still experience longer wait times and higher per-procedure costs due to limited local options.
