How much should ct abdomen and pelvis, with and without contrast cost?

Estimated reasonable range

$900$1,800

Based on the national Medicare reference rate (~$450) at a typical commercial multiple of 2×–4×. This is an order-of-magnitude estimate, not a quote — your hospital's actual contracted rate may differ.

Why prices vary for this

Imaging (CT, MRI, X-ray) is one of the most marked-up categories in published hospital price files — the same scan can cost 2 to 4 times the Medicare reference rate depending on facility and negotiated insurer rates.

Price above benchmark
