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 York
New York's healthcare costs run approximately 22% above national averages, driven by the state's high cost of living, concentrated metropolitan markets, and extensive academic medical infrastructure. The stark divide between New York City's premium-priced facilities and more affordable upstate options creates significant geographic cost variations for CT Abdomen Pelvis imaging.
Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability
The New York metropolitan area maintains the highest concentration of imaging facilities in the nation, while rural counties in the North Country, Southern Tier, and western regions face longer travel distances to access advanced CT technology. This geographic disparity results in higher costs per study in rural markets due to lower patient volumes and higher overhead allocation per exam.
Facility Type and Overhead Costs
Hospital-based outpatient imaging departments at major systems like NewYork-Presbyterian, NYU Langone, and Mount Sinai typically charge facility fees 30-50% higher than independent imaging centers due to academic overhead and urban real estate costs. Community-based imaging centers throughout Long Island, Westchester, and upstate regions often provide identical services at significantly lower rates.
Insurance Market Competition in New York
The state's competitive insurance market includes Empire BCBS, UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, and Cigna maintaining extensive networks and negotiating varied rates across different facility types. Strong regulatory oversight through the Department of Financial Services helps moderate rate increases, though premium facility locations still command higher negotiated payments from insurers.
Physician Supply and Demand in New York
With over 31,000 active imaging providers statewide, New York maintains robust radiologist availability relative to population density, particularly in metropolitan areas where subspecialty expertise is readily accessible. This healthy supply-demand balance helps moderate pricing in competitive markets, though premium locations and subspecialty services still command higher rates reflecting advanced training and technology investments.
