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 Oklahoma

Oklahoma's healthcare costs run approximately 8% below the national average, reflecting the state's lower cost of living and rural healthcare economics. The concentration of major medical facilities in Oklahoma City and Tulsa creates cost disparities between urban and rural regions throughout the state.

Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability

Oklahoma's vast rural areas often lack nearby imaging facilities, forcing patients to travel to Oklahoma City, Tulsa, or regional centers like Lawton and Norman for CT services. This geographic challenge creates higher effective costs for rural patients due to travel expenses and time off work, while urban areas benefit from competitive pricing among multiple providers. The state's 77 counties vary dramatically in healthcare access, with some rural counties having no local imaging facilities.

Facility Type and Overhead Costs

Major health systems like Integris Health and Saint Francis Health System operate hospital-based imaging centers with higher overhead costs than independent outpatient facilities. Oklahoma's preference for hospital employment of physicians has led to more facility-based billing, which typically results in separate professional and technical components for CT scans. Independent imaging centers, more common in urban areas, often provide the same quality services at lower total costs.

Insurance Market Competition in Oklahoma

The Oklahoma insurance market features moderate competition among BCBS Oklahoma, UHC, and CommunityCare, with each insurer negotiating different rates with imaging providers across the state. BCBS Oklahoma's strong market presence gives it significant negotiating power with providers, often resulting in more favorable rates for patients. The relatively consolidated insurer market means fewer network options compared to states with dozens of competing health plans.

Physician Supply and Demand in Oklahoma

With 2,193 active CT Abdomen Pelvis providers across Oklahoma, the state maintains adequate imaging capacity in urban areas but faces shortages in rural regions. This supply distribution creates pricing pressures, with rural facilities often charging higher rates due to lower volume and higher per-case overhead costs. Urban competition among providers helps keep costs reasonable in metros like Oklahoma City and Tulsa, while rural patients may have limited options for price comparison.

Frequently Asked Questions — CT Abdomen Pelvis Costs in Oklahoma

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

Without insurance, CT Abdomen Pelvis scans in Oklahoma typically range from $76.56 to $469.48, with a median cost of $183.67 based on negotiated rates across 2,193 providers statewide. Self-pay patients can often negotiate discounts of 30-50% off standard rates, particularly at independent imaging centers. Many facilities offer payment plans to help manage these costs, and shopping around can result in significant savings since prices vary dramatically between providers.

Does Oklahoma Medicaid cover CT Abdomen Pelvis visits?

Oklahoma Medicaid covers medically necessary CT Abdomen Pelvis scans when properly authorized by a physician, but the state has not expanded Medicaid, limiting eligibility to specific populations. Traditional Medicaid recipients including pregnant women, children, and qualified disabled individuals can receive coverage for imaging studies with prior authorization. Since Oklahoma chose not to expand Medicaid under the ACA, many low-income adults don't qualify for coverage and must seek alternative payment options or charity care programs.

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

Compare prices between hospital-based facilities and independent imaging centers, as the latter often charge significantly less for the same quality service. Ask about self-pay discounts if you're uninsured, and consider traveling to nearby cities where competition may drive down prices. Community health centers and federally qualified health centers throughout Oklahoma may offer sliding-scale fees based on income, while some facilities provide same-day payment discounts for cash customers.

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

CT Abdomen Pelvis scans are typically ordered by referring physicians rather than requiring separate consultations with radiologists, so the primary cost is the imaging procedure itself ranging from $76.56 to $469.48 in Oklahoma. If a radiologist consultation is needed to discuss results, this would be billed separately at standard consultation rates. Follow-up scans to monitor treatment progress or track changes over time are billed at the same rates as initial scans, though some facilities may offer package discounts for multiple studies.

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

Yes, CT Abdomen Pelvis scans ordered by a physician for medical diagnosis or treatment qualify as eligible medical expenses for both HSA and FSA accounts. You can use these tax-advantaged funds to pay for the imaging study, any related consultation fees, and transportation costs if traveling for the procedure. Keep all receipts and documentation of medical necessity, as the IRS requires proof that expenses were for qualified medical care rather than general health maintenance.

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

While the actual CT scan must be performed in person at an imaging facility, telemedicine can reduce overall costs by enabling remote consultations with specialists to review results and plan treatment. Oklahoma's expanded telehealth coverage during and after the pandemic allows many follow-up visits to be conducted virtually, saving patients travel time and costs especially in rural areas. Remote radiology interpretation is already standard practice, with many Oklahoma scans read by radiologists at distant locations, but this doesn't typically affect patient costs since it's built into facility pricing.
