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 Nebraska
Nebraska's medical imaging costs run approximately 1% below national averages, reflecting the state's lower overall healthcare costs and rural-urban economic balance. The concentration of major health systems in Omaha and Lincoln creates competitive pricing in metro areas while rural regions face higher costs due to limited facility options.
Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability
The Omaha and Lincoln metropolitan areas contain nearly 60% of Nebraska's imaging facilities, creating competitive pricing and shorter wait times for CT scans. Rural counties often rely on critical access hospitals or traveling imaging services, which can result in higher per-procedure costs but may offer more flexible scheduling.
Facility Type and Overhead Costs
Hospital-owned outpatient imaging centers dominate Nebraska's market, particularly through major systems like Nebraska Medicine and CHI Health. Independent imaging centers in urban areas often provide lower-cost alternatives, while rural hospital-based facilities face higher operational costs due to lower patient volumes.
Insurance Market Competition in Nebraska
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Nebraska maintains the largest market share, followed by UnitedHealthcare and Aetna, creating moderate competition that helps control imaging costs. The state's relatively concentrated insurer market allows for stronger negotiated rates with imaging providers compared to more fragmented insurance markets.
Physician Supply and Demand in Nebraska
With over 2,200 active imaging providers, Nebraska maintains adequate radiologist availability relative to its population, preventing the supply shortages that drive up costs in other states. The University of Nebraska Medical Center's radiology residency program helps maintain steady physician supply, though rural areas still face occasional coverage gaps requiring telemedicine reads.
