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 New Jersey
New Jersey's healthcare costs run approximately 17% above national averages, driven by the state's proximity to high-cost New York City markets and dense population requiring extensive medical infrastructure. The Garden State's compact geography concentrates most residents within major metropolitan corridors, creating intense competition among providers while maintaining premium pricing structures.
Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability
Northern New Jersey's proximity to Manhattan creates a high-density provider market with premium pricing, while southern regions around Atlantic City and the Pine Barrens have fewer imaging options but more competitive rates. The state's extensive suburban development means most residents live within 30 minutes of multiple CT facilities, unlike truly rural states with significant access barriers. This geographic advantage allows patients more choice in balancing cost, convenience, and provider preferences.
Facility Type and Overhead Costs
Hospital-owned outpatient imaging centers dominate New Jersey's market through major health systems like RWJBarnabas Health, Hackensack Meridian, and AtlantiCare, typically charging higher facility fees than independent practices. These academic and community hospital affiliations provide advanced technology and subspecialty expertise but pass higher overhead costs to patients and insurers. Independent radiology groups often offer more competitive pricing while maintaining quality standards comparable to hospital-based facilities.
Insurance Market Competition in New Jersey
Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield maintains the largest market share in New Jersey, followed by national carriers Aetna and UnitedHealthcare competing for employer and individual market segments. This moderate concentration allows insurers meaningful negotiating power with providers while maintaining enough competition to prevent monopolistic pricing. The state's proximity to New York and Pennsylvania markets also influences rate negotiations as providers and insurers operate across multiple state lines.
Physician Supply and Demand in New Jersey
With over 6,600 active CT imaging providers, New Jersey maintains one of the highest radiologist-to-population ratios in the nation, reflecting the state's affluent demographics and proximity to major medical schools. This substantial provider supply helps moderate wait times and creates competitive pressure on pricing, particularly for routine outpatient imaging services. However, subspecialty imaging and emergency services still command premium rates due to specialized expertise requirements.
