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 Mississippi
Mississippi's healthcare costs run approximately 14% below national averages due to lower labor costs, reduced facility overhead, and a predominantly rural healthcare infrastructure. The state's concentration of medical facilities in Jackson, Gulfport, and Tupelo creates distinct pricing tiers between urban medical centers and smaller regional hospitals.
Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability
The Mississippi Delta region faces significant imaging access challenges, with many residents traveling over an hour to reach CT scanning facilities in larger cities. Jackson's medical district concentrates the state's most advanced imaging technology, while Gulf Coast facilities serve both Mississippi and Alabama residents. Rural counties often depend on mobile CT units or require patients to travel to regional medical centers for abdominal imaging.
Facility Type and Overhead Costs
Hospital-owned outpatient imaging centers in Mississippi typically charge 30-50% more than independent facilities due to higher overhead and facility fees. The University of Mississippi Medical Center and Merit Health systems operate the majority of hospital-based imaging services, while independent centers like SimonMed and RadNet offer competitive pricing. Critical access hospitals in rural areas often have older CT equipment but provide essential services to underserved communities.
Insurance Market Competition in Mississippi
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Mississippi maintains the largest market share, followed by UnitedHealthcare and Magnolia Health Plan, creating moderate competition that benefits consumers through negotiated rate transparency. The state's relatively small population limits the number of national insurers willing to compete, resulting in fewer plan options than neighboring states. Medicaid managed care is handled primarily through Magnolia Health Plan and UnitedHealthcare Community Plan.
Physician Supply and Demand in Mississippi
With over 1,300 active CT Abdomen Pelvis providers statewide, Mississippi maintains adequate imaging capacity despite overall physician shortages in other specialties. The concentration of radiologists in urban areas creates scheduling advantages for city residents but longer wait times in rural regions. This supply distribution contributes to the significant cost variations between metropolitan and rural imaging facilities throughout the state.
