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 Tennessee
Tennessee's CT Abdomen Pelvis costs run approximately 4% below national averages, reflecting the state's moderate healthcare competition and lower cost of living compared to coastal markets. The concentration of major health systems in Nashville and Memphis creates pricing anchors that influence rates across the state's 95 counties.
Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability
Nashville and Memphis metro areas contain over 60% of Tennessee's imaging facilities, while rural counties in East and West Tennessee often have limited access to advanced CT equipment. Patients in rural areas may travel 50+ miles for procedures, but often find lower facility fees at smaller regional hospitals compared to urban academic medical centers.
Facility Type and Overhead Costs
Hospital-owned outpatient imaging centers, particularly those affiliated with Vanderbilt University Medical Center and Baptist Health System, typically charge higher facility fees due to their overhead costs and trauma center designation requirements. Independent radiology practices and dedicated imaging centers often provide the same quality CT scans at 30-40% lower costs.
Insurance Market Competition in Tennessee
BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee holds the largest market share, followed by UnitedHealthcare and Cigna, creating moderate competition that helps contain imaging costs. This three-insurer dynamic allows for competitive negotiated rates with imaging providers, though rural areas may have fewer in-network options.
Physician Supply and Demand in Tennessee
With 2,737 active CT Abdomen Pelvis providers statewide, Tennessee maintains adequate radiologist coverage relative to its 6.9 million residents, preventing the supply shortages that drive up costs in other states. This healthy provider-to-population ratio helps maintain competitive pricing and reasonable appointment availability, typically within 1-2 weeks for routine procedures.
