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 Oregon
Oregon's healthcare costs run approximately 9% above the national average, though CT imaging services buck this trend with rates 53% below national benchmarks. The state's coordinated care organization model and competitive insurance marketplace help control diagnostic imaging costs across both metropolitan and rural regions.
Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability
Portland's metro area concentrates most of Oregon's 457 CT providers, while eastern Oregon counties often rely on critical access hospitals or mobile imaging units for diagnostic services. This geographic disparity creates longer travel times for rural residents but doesn't significantly impact pricing due to standardized insurance contracts across regions.
Facility Type and Overhead Costs
Oregon's major health systems like Kaiser Permanente and Providence operate hospital-based imaging centers with higher overhead costs, while independent outpatient facilities often offer competitive cash-pay rates. Ambulatory surgery centers and dedicated imaging centers typically charge less than hospital outpatient departments due to lower facility fees and operational costs.
Insurance Market Competition in Oregon
The presence of Regence BCBS, PacificSource, and UHC creates moderate competition in Oregon's insurance marketplace, with each insurer negotiating separate rates with imaging providers. This competition helps keep negotiated rates reasonable, though rural areas with fewer provider options may see less aggressive rate negotiations.
Physician Supply and Demand in Oregon
With 457 active CT providers serving Oregon's 4.2 million residents, the state maintains adequate radiologist coverage in urban areas but faces shortages in frontier counties. This balanced supply in metropolitan regions helps maintain competitive pricing, while rural shortages are addressed through telemedicine and traveling radiologist programs.
