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.

Frequently Asked Questions — CT Abdomen Pelvis Costs in Oregon

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

Uninsured patients in Oregon can expect to pay between $79 and $1,834 for CT Abdomen Pelvis services, with a median cost of $227 based on negotiated insurance rates. Many imaging centers offer cash-pay discounts of 30-50% off standard rates, and payment plans are commonly available to make the cost more manageable for self-pay patients.

Does Oregon Medicaid cover CT Abdomen Pelvis visits?

Oregon's expanded Medicaid program covers medically necessary CT Abdomen Pelvis scans with minimal or no copay for most beneficiaries. Prior authorization may be required for non-emergency scans, but emergency department orders are typically processed immediately. Coverage includes both the scan itself and the radiologist's interpretation fee.

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

Compare costs across Oregon's 457 CT providers by checking with independent imaging centers, which often charge less than hospital-based facilities. Ask about cash-pay discounts if you're uninsured, and consider facilities in suburban areas which may have lower overhead costs than downtown Portland locations. Community health centers and federally qualified health centers may also offer sliding scale pricing.

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

CT Abdomen Pelvis imaging costs remain consistent at $79 to $1,834 regardless of whether it's your first scan or a follow-up study, with the median cost around $227. However, the radiologist consultation fee may vary, and follow-up scans ordered by the same physician typically require less administrative coordination, potentially reducing associated facility fees.

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

Yes, CT Abdomen Pelvis scans qualify as eligible medical expenses for both Health Savings Accounts and Flexible Spending Accounts when ordered by a physician for diagnostic purposes. You can use these pre-tax dollars to pay for the imaging study, radiologist fees, and any related copays or deductibles, providing significant tax savings on these medical expenses.

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

While the CT scan itself must be performed in person at an imaging facility, telemedicine can reduce costs for pre-scan consultations and results discussions with your physician. Oregon's strong telehealth infrastructure allows radiologists to provide remote interpretations, and follow-up consultations via telemedicine typically cost $50-150 less than in-person visits, making the overall diagnostic process more affordable.
