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 71260 — CT chest 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 Chest CT Scan Visit Costs Vary Across Oklahoma
Oklahoma's healthcare costs run about 8% below the national average, reflecting the state's lower cost of living and moderate provider competition in major metropolitan areas. The state's mix of urban centers and rural communities creates distinct pricing patterns across different regions.
Urban vs. Rural Provider Availability
Oklahoma City and Tulsa offer multiple imaging options with competitive pricing, while rural counties often have limited facilities requiring patients to travel for specialized scans. Rural imaging centers may charge premium rates due to lower volume and higher overhead costs per procedure. Some rural residents drive to larger cities where competition keeps prices lower.
Facility Type and Overhead Costs
Hospital-owned outpatient imaging centers typically charge higher rates than independent radiology clinics due to facility overhead and administrative costs. Major health systems like Integris Health and Saint Francis Health System operate numerous locations throughout Oklahoma. Freestanding imaging centers often offer competitive cash rates to attract self-pay patients.
Insurance Market Competition in Oklahoma
BCBS Oklahoma dominates the individual market while UHC and CommunityCare compete primarily in employer-sponsored plans, creating varied negotiated rates across different insurers. The relatively concentrated market means fewer competing insurance options compared to larger states. Limited insurer competition can result in higher premiums but may also mean more predictable provider networks.
Physician Supply and Demand in Oklahoma
With over 2,180 active providers offering Chest CT Scan services, Oklahoma maintains adequate radiologist availability in metropolitan areas but faces shortages in rural regions. This supply distribution affects both pricing and wait times, with urban areas offering same-day or next-day appointments. Rural patients may wait longer for appointments or travel to urban centers for faster service.
