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 New Hampshire

New Hampshire's healthcare costs run approximately 11% above national averages, influenced by the state's small population spread across rural northern counties and concentrated urban areas along the Massachusetts border. The state's proximity to Boston's high-cost medical market creates upward pressure on pricing, while limited provider competition in rural areas further drives costs higher than national norms.

Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability

The Manchester-Nashua corridor and Seacoast region offer multiple imaging options with competitive pricing, while northern counties like Coos and Carroll may have limited facilities requiring longer travel times. Rural areas often depend on critical access hospitals or traveling to urban centers, creating both access challenges and price premiums for specialized imaging services. This geographic disparity means patients in Berlin or Lancaster may pay significantly more than those in Portsmouth or Concord.

Facility Type and Overhead Costs

Hospital-based imaging at facilities like Elliot Hospital or Catholic Medical Center typically includes facility fees that independent imaging centers do not charge. Dartmouth-Hitchcock's academic medical center status allows premium pricing for complex cases but may not be cost-effective for routine imaging. Independent imaging centers throughout southern New Hampshire often provide the most competitive pricing for standard CT procedures.

Insurance Market Competition in New Hampshire

Anthem's market dominance alongside Harvard Pilgrim and Cigna creates moderate competition that keeps negotiated rates reasonable but not as competitive as larger states. The relatively small market means fewer plan options and less aggressive rate competition compared to neighboring Massachusetts. This concentrated market structure contributes to the state's above-average healthcare costs across most service categories.

Physician Supply and Demand in New Hampshire

With 3,693 providers offering CT imaging services, New Hampshire maintains adequate radiologist coverage relative to its population of 1.4 million residents. The concentration of specialists in the southern tier near Massachusetts creates geographic imbalances, with excellent access in Rockingham and Hillsborough counties but potential shortages in the North Country. This supply distribution affects both pricing and scheduling, with rural areas experiencing longer wait times and higher costs.

Frequently Asked Questions — CT Abdomen Pelvis Costs in New Hampshire

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

Without insurance, CT Abdomen Pelvis procedures in New Hampshire typically cost between $100.70 and $739.71, with a median price of $324.57 based on negotiated rates. Self-pay patients may qualify for discounts of 20-40% at many facilities, potentially bringing costs down significantly. Independent imaging centers often offer more competitive cash pricing than hospital-based facilities.

Does New Hampshire Medicaid cover CT Abdomen Pelvis visits?

Yes, New Hampshire's expanded Medicaid program covers medically necessary CT imaging when ordered by a physician. The scan must be deemed medically appropriate for diagnosing or monitoring a specific condition rather than for screening purposes. Prior authorization may be required depending on the clinical indication and imaging facility.

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

Compare prices between independent imaging centers and hospital-based facilities, as independents often charge less. Ask about self-pay discounts if you're uninsured or have a high-deductible plan, and consider traveling to urban areas like Manchester or Nashua for more competitive pricing. Community health centers may also provide referrals to lower-cost imaging options.

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

CT imaging costs remain consistent whether it's your first scan or a follow-up, typically ranging from $100.70 to $739.71 with a median of $324.57. However, the radiologist interpretation may vary slightly based on complexity, and some facilities offer package pricing for multiple scans. Follow-up scans may qualify for different insurance coverage depending on your plan's diagnostic imaging benefits.

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

Yes, CT imaging is considered a qualified medical expense eligible for HSA or FSA reimbursement when prescribed by a physician. Keep all receipts and documentation from your healthcare provider showing the medical necessity of the scan. These tax-advantaged accounts can help reduce the out-of-pocket cost of imaging services significantly.

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

While the actual CT scan must be performed in person, telehealth consultations for reviewing results or follow-up care can reduce overall costs by eliminating office visit fees. Many New Hampshire providers offer telehealth follow-ups to discuss imaging results, particularly helpful for patients in rural areas. This hybrid approach can save both time and money while maintaining quality care.
