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 Minnesota
Minnesota's CT Abdomen Pelvis costs run approximately 79% below national averages, reflecting the state's cooperative healthcare culture and strong insurance market competition. The Twin Cities metropolitan area concentrates most imaging facilities, while greater Minnesota relies on regional medical centers and traveling radiologists for specialized services.
Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability
The Minneapolis-St. Paul metro area houses the majority of Minnesota's 2,200 CT Abdomen Pelvis providers, creating competitive pricing and short wait times for urban patients. Rural areas like northern Minnesota and the Iron Range depend on regional hospitals and may require longer travel distances, though telemedicine interpretation has improved access to subspecialty radiology expertise.
Facility Type and Overhead Costs
Hospital-based outpatient imaging at facilities like Mayo Clinic Rochester and M Health Fairview typically charge higher overhead rates compared to independent imaging centers throughout Minnesota. Ambulatory surgery centers and dedicated imaging facilities often provide the same quality CT scans at significantly lower costs due to reduced administrative overhead and facility expenses.
Insurance Market Competition in Minnesota
Strong competition between BCBS MN, UHC, and HealthPartners has created favorable negotiated rates for CT Abdomen Pelvis services across the state. Minnesota's cooperative insurance market and nonprofit health plan tradition helps keep imaging costs below national averages, with most insurers maintaining broad provider networks that include both academic medical centers and community facilities.
Physician Supply and Demand in Minnesota
With over 2,200 active CT Abdomen Pelvis providers serving Minnesota's 5.7 million residents, the state maintains adequate radiologist supply in urban areas while facing shortages in rural regions. This robust provider network in metropolitan areas creates competitive pricing and reduces wait times, though geographic maldistribution can increase costs and access challenges for patients in northern and southwestern Minnesota.
