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 74177CT 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.

Where this data comes from & what CPT 74177 covers

Data source: Cost figures are derived from UnitedHealthcare Transparency in Coverage machine-readable files for CPT code 74177 (CT abdomen and pelvis with contrast), as mandated by the CMS Price Transparency Rule.

What CPT 74177 covers: the provider's professional fee for ct abdomen & pelvis. It does not include facility/hospital fees, anesthesia, pre-operative imaging, post-operative care, or any add-on codes billed separately.

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 Michigan

Michigan's healthcare costs run approximately 3% below the national average, driven by competitive insurance markets and the state's mix of major academic medical centers and efficient community hospitals. The state's geographic spread from Detroit's urban density to the Upper Peninsula's rural communities creates significant cost variation.

Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability

Detroit, Grand Rapids, and Ann Arbor offer abundant imaging options with competitive pricing, while rural areas like the Upper Peninsula may have limited providers but lower facility overhead. Patients in northern Michigan sometimes travel to larger cities for specialized abdominal imaging, adding transportation costs but potentially saving on procedure fees.

Facility Type and Overhead Costs

Michigan's dominant health systems like Beaumont, Spectrum Health, and University of Michigan Health operate extensive imaging networks with standardized pricing. Independent imaging centers often offer 20-30% lower rates than hospital-based facilities due to reduced overhead and administrative costs.

Insurance Market Competition in Michigan

Strong competition between BCBS Michigan, UHC, and Aetna creates favorable negotiated rates for CT Abdomen Pelvis studies. Michigan's relatively balanced insurer market prevents any single payer from dominating rate negotiations, helping keep costs reasonable for patients across different insurance plans.

Physician Supply and Demand in Michigan

With 2,378 active CT Abdomen Pelvis providers statewide, Michigan maintains adequate radiologist supply in urban areas while facing shortages in rural regions. This geographic distribution affects pricing, with rural facilities sometimes charging premium rates due to limited competition and higher per-study overhead costs.
