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 Utah
Utah's healthcare costs run approximately 2% below national averages, reflecting the state's lower cost of living and concentrated population along the Wasatch Front. The state's unique geography creates distinct cost patterns between urban corridors and rural counties that significantly impact CT Abdomen Pelvis accessibility and pricing.
Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability
The Wasatch Front metropolitan area from Ogden to Provo concentrates most of Utah's imaging facilities, while rural counties like San Juan and Daggett have limited or no local CT scanning capabilities. This geographic disparity forces rural patients to travel significant distances for imaging, though it can result in lower per-scan costs at smaller regional hospitals.
Facility Type and Overhead Costs
Hospital-owned outpatient imaging centers in Utah typically charge 30-50% more than independent radiology practices due to higher facility fees and administrative overhead. Major health systems like Intermountain Healthcare and University of Utah Health dominate the market, while independent imaging centers offer competitive pricing to attract self-pay and high-deductible patients.
Insurance Market Competition in Utah
Utah's insurance market features strong regional competition between SelectHealth, BCBS UT, and UHC, with SelectHealth holding significant local market share that influences negotiated imaging rates. This competitive dynamic helps keep CT Abdomen Pelvis costs below national averages, though network restrictions can limit patient choice among imaging providers.
Physician Supply and Demand in Utah
With 446 active CT Abdomen Pelvis providers serving Utah's 3.3 million residents, the state maintains adequate radiologist coverage that prevents severe supply shortages. This relatively balanced supply-demand ratio contributes to stable pricing and reasonable appointment availability, though wait times may be longer in rural areas requiring travel to urban imaging centers.
