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 Texas
Texas healthcare costs run approximately 4% below the national average, though the state's vast geographic spread creates significant cost disparities between major metropolitan areas and rural counties. The state's large market with over 600 ambulatory surgery centers drives competition that helps moderate imaging costs in urban areas.
Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability
Major Texas metropolitan areas like Houston, Dallas, Austin, and San Antonio have high concentrations of imaging facilities, creating competitive pricing, while rural East Texas and West Texas regions may have limited options. Patients in rural areas often travel to regional centers for specialized imaging, which can add transportation costs to the overall expense.
Facility Type and Overhead Costs
Hospital-based imaging departments in Texas typically charge more than independent imaging centers due to higher facility fees and overhead costs. Major health systems like Houston Methodist, Baylor Scott & White, and Texas Health Resources often have higher rates than standalone radiology practices or outpatient imaging centers.
Insurance Market Competition in Texas
Texas has robust insurer competition with UnitedHealthcare, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas, Aetna, and Cigna all maintaining significant market presence. This competitive environment has led to varied negotiated rates for imaging services, with some insurers securing better discounts at preferred imaging networks throughout the state.
Physician Supply and Demand in Texas
With over 11,500 active CT Abdomen Pelvis providers, Texas has a relatively robust supply of imaging services that helps maintain competitive pricing in most markets. The high provider count relative to population suggests adequate access in major metropolitan areas, though rural regions may still experience longer wait times and higher costs due to limited local options.
