Answered October 31, 2010 21:55. Prices for the various procedures and tests performance in the medical field are often a complete mystery until the patient receives the bill. Prices can vary by 1000's of dollars depending on the type of insurance the patient has. The price also varies greatly depending on what region is being imaged and whether or not intravenous contrast was administered. These are some prices based on cash pay:

- CT head without contrast $600 +/- $300
- CT abdomen and pelvis with contrast $1500 +/- $700
- CT chest without contrast $900 +/- $400

I highly recommend calling around and comparing prices. It also may be helpful to have your doctor make a call to see if the imaging center will cut you a better deal (they want their referring physicians to be happy with them... so that they will refer them more business).
