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.

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.

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 Nevada

Nevada's healthcare costs run approximately 8% above national averages, driven by rapid population growth and the concentration of medical resources in Las Vegas and Reno metro areas. The state's vast rural regions create access challenges that influence pricing dynamics across different geographic markets.

Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability

Las Vegas and Reno dominate Nevada's healthcare landscape, with extensive imaging networks and competitive pricing due to provider density. Rural counties like Esmeralda and Mineral have limited imaging options, often requiring patients to travel significant distances for specialized CT studies. This geographic disparity creates cost variations based on local market competition and facility overhead expenses.

Facility Type and Overhead Costs

Hospital-based imaging departments at facilities like Sunrise Health System and Renown Health typically charge higher facility fees compared to independent radiology centers throughout Nevada. Outpatient imaging centers have grown rapidly in Las Vegas, creating competitive pressure that has helped moderate costs. Free-standing radiology clinics often offer more flexible scheduling and lower prices due to reduced administrative overhead.

Insurance Market Competition in Nevada

UnitedHealthcare, Anthem, and Aetna compete for market share across Nevada, with regional variations in negotiated rates and network adequacy. The Las Vegas market shows stronger insurer competition compared to rural areas where provider options are limited. This competitive dynamic affects the rates insurers can negotiate with imaging facilities, ultimately impacting patient out-of-pocket costs.

Physician Supply and Demand in Nevada

With over 2,600 active CT Abdomen Pelvis providers reported in our database, Nevada appears to have adequate imaging capacity in urban areas but potential shortages in rural regions. The concentration of radiologists in Las Vegas and Reno creates shorter wait times and competitive pricing in these markets. Rural areas may experience longer scheduling delays and higher costs due to limited provider availability and travel requirements for specialized interpretation.

What is the average cost of a CT Abdomen Pelvis visit in Nevada without insurance?

Uninsured patients in Nevada typically pay between $85 and $504 for a CT Abdomen Pelvis study, with a median cost of $282 based on negotiated insurance rates. Many imaging centers offer cash-pay discounts that can reduce these amounts by 30-50%. Payment plans are often available to help manage costs for patients without insurance coverage.

Does Nevada Medicaid cover CT Abdomen Pelvis visits?

Yes, Nevada expanded Medicaid covers CT Abdomen Pelvis studies when medically necessary and ordered by a healthcare provider. Prior authorization may be required for some imaging studies to ensure appropriate use. Medicaid patients typically have minimal out-of-pocket costs for covered imaging services at participating facilities.

How do I find an affordable CT Abdomen Pelvis near me in Nevada?

Compare prices between hospital-based imaging departments and independent radiology centers, as independent facilities often charge less due to lower overhead costs. Ask about self-pay discounts if you're uninsured, and consider community health centers that may offer sliding-fee scales. Las Vegas and Reno typically have more competitive pricing due to greater provider competition.

What is the difference in cost between an initial consultation and a follow-up visit?

CT Abdomen Pelvis studies are typically ordered by referring physicians rather than requiring separate consultations with radiologists. The imaging cost remains consistent at $85-$504 regardless of whether it's your first scan or a follow-up study. However, the referring physician's consultation fees may vary between new patient visits and established patient follow-ups.

Can I use an HSA or FSA to pay for a CT Abdomen Pelvis visit in Nevada?

Yes, CT Abdomen Pelvis studies are qualified medical expenses that can be paid for using Health Savings Account or Flexible Spending Account funds. This includes both the imaging fee and any related physician consultation costs. Keep receipts and documentation for your HSA/FSA administrator to ensure proper reimbursement.

How does telemedicine affect the cost of seeing a CT Abdomen Pelvis in Nevada?

While the actual CT scan must be performed in-person at an imaging facility, telemedicine consultations for reviewing results or follow-up discussions are often less expensive than in-person visits. Many Nevada radiologists and referring physicians offer telehealth options for discussing scan findings and treatment plans. This can reduce overall healthcare costs by eliminating travel time and office visit fees for routine follow-ups.
