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 74177CT 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.

Where this data comes from & what CPT 74177 covers

Data source: Cost figures are derived from UnitedHealthcare Transparency in Coverage machine-readable files for CPT code 74177 (CT abdomen and pelvis with contrast), as mandated by the CMS Price Transparency Rule.

What CPT 74177 covers: the provider's professional fee for ct abdomen & pelvis. It does not include facility/hospital fees, anesthesia, pre-operative imaging, post-operative care, or any add-on codes billed separately.

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 Wyoming

Wyoming's healthcare costs run approximately 8% above the national average, influenced by the state's low population density and the substantial distances between major medical centers. The Equality State's unique geography creates significant cost variations between facilities in population centers like Cheyenne and Casper versus critical access hospitals in smaller communities.

Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability

Wyoming's 187 CT Abdomen Pelvis providers are heavily concentrated in Cheyenne, Casper, and Jackson, leaving many rural counties with limited local imaging options. Patients in frontier areas often travel 100+ miles for specialized imaging, which can increase overall healthcare costs when factoring in time and transportation expenses.

Facility Type and Overhead Costs

Hospital-based outpatient imaging departments in Wyoming typically charge higher facility fees than independent imaging centers due to increased overhead and regulatory requirements. Major health systems like Banner Health and Cheyenne Regional Medical Center operate many hospital-based facilities, while independent radiology groups provide more cost-effective alternatives in urban areas.

Insurance Market Competition in Wyoming

The concentration of Blue Cross Blue Shield of Wyoming, UnitedHealthcare, and Cigna in the state's insurance market creates limited competition, potentially affecting negotiated rates with imaging providers. This concentrated market structure can result in less aggressive rate negotiations compared to states with more diverse insurer competition, impacting overall imaging costs.

Physician Supply and Demand in Wyoming

With 187 active CT Abdomen Pelvis providers serving Wyoming's population, the state maintains adequate imaging capacity in urban areas but faces shortages in rural regions. This geographic mismatch between supply and demand can drive up costs in underserved areas while creating competitive pricing in population centers like Cheyenne and Casper.

Frequently Asked Questions — CT Abdomen Pelvis Costs in Wyoming

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

Self-pay patients in Wyoming can expect CT Abdomen Pelvis costs ranging from $80 to $814, with a median cost of $303 based on negotiated rates from 187 providers statewide. Many imaging centers offer cash-pay discounts that can reduce these costs by 30-50% for uninsured patients. Independent imaging centers typically charge less than hospital-based facilities, and patients should call multiple providers to compare self-pay rates and available payment plans.

Does Wyoming Medicaid cover CT Abdomen Pelvis visits?

Wyoming Medicaid covers medically necessary CT Abdomen Pelvis imaging when ordered by a physician for covered beneficiaries. However, Wyoming has not expanded Medicaid, so coverage is limited to traditional categories like pregnant women, children, parents with very low incomes, and disabled individuals. Prior authorization may be required for non-emergent CT studies, and patients should verify their eligibility and coverage details with Wyoming Medicaid before scheduling.

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

Compare costs between independent imaging centers and hospital-based facilities, as independent centers often charge 20-40% less for the same study. Ask about self-pay discounts if you're uninsured or have a high-deductible plan, and consider traveling to larger cities like Cheyenne or Casper where competition may drive down prices. Community health centers and critical access hospitals in rural areas may also offer sliding fee scales based on income.

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

CT Abdomen Pelvis imaging is typically a standalone diagnostic test rather than a consultation-based service, so costs don't vary between initial and follow-up studies. The imaging study itself costs between $80 and $814 in Wyoming regardless of whether it's your first scan or a repeat study. However, the separate radiologist interpretation fee and any associated physician visits for discussing results may have different billing codes and costs.

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

Yes, CT Abdomen Pelvis imaging ordered by a physician for medical diagnosis or treatment qualifies as an eligible medical expense for both HSA and FSA accounts. You can use these pre-tax dollars to pay for the imaging study, radiologist interpretation fees, and any related copays or deductibles. Keep receipts and documentation showing the medical necessity of the imaging for your HSA/FSA records.

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

While the CT scan itself must be performed in person at an imaging facility, telemedicine can reduce overall costs by allowing remote consultations to discuss results and follow-up care. Wyoming's vast rural geography makes telehealth particularly valuable for patients who might otherwise travel long distances for result discussions. Some radiologists and referring physicians offer virtual consultations to review CT findings, potentially saving patients time and travel costs while maintaining quality care.
