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 Washington
Washington's healthcare costs run approximately 10% above national averages, driven by the state's high cost of living in metropolitan areas and significant urban-rural healthcare access disparities. The concentration of major medical centers in Seattle and Spokane creates pricing variations across the state's diverse geographic regions.
Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability
Seattle's dense concentration of imaging facilities creates competitive pricing, while rural counties in eastern Washington may have limited options and higher costs due to transportation and staffing challenges. The Cascade Mountains create a natural divide affecting healthcare access, with western Washington generally offering more provider choices and competitive rates. Smaller communities often rely on hospital-based imaging departments rather than independent centers, typically resulting in higher facility fees.
Facility Type and Overhead Costs
Hospital-based outpatient imaging at facilities like UW Medicine and MultiCare typically carries higher overhead costs compared to independent imaging centers throughout Washington. Academic medical centers in Seattle command premium rates due to their specialized expertise and research missions, while community hospitals in suburban areas offer moderate pricing. Independent imaging chains have expanded throughout the Puget Sound region, creating competitive pressure on hospital-based pricing.
Insurance Market Competition in Washington
Washington's moderate competition among major insurers including Premera, Regence, Kaiser, and UnitedHealthcare helps contain negotiated rates for imaging services. The state's insurance exchange offers multiple carrier options in most counties, though rural areas may have limited insurer participation affecting negotiated rates. Regional insurers like Premera Blue Cross maintain strong provider networks that can offer better rates than national carriers in certain markets.
Physician Supply and Demand in Washington
With 4,596 providers offering CT Abdomen Pelvis services, Washington maintains adequate imaging capacity in most regions, helping to moderate pricing through competition. The state's radiologist supply is concentrated in urban areas, with rural regions sometimes experiencing shortages that can drive up costs and extend wait times. Seattle's status as a regional medical hub attracts subspecialty radiologists, creating pricing tiers based on expertise level and facility prestige.
