CT Scan Cost in Jacksonville, FL

A CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis is an imaging procedure that uses a rotating X-ray device to capture many cross-sectional images of the lower torso. A computer assembles these images into detailed views of the organs, blood vessels, and tissues in that region. The facility fee, meaning the charge from the hospital for the scanner room, equipment, and technologist staff, covers the scan itself. Two billing codes apply: HCPCS 74176 (without contrast) and HCPCS 74177 (with contrast, a substance given by injection or by mouth that changes how structures appear on the images). All prices below come from CMS-mandated hospital price transparency files.

What These Prices Mean

Understanding the price columns
The gross charge is the hospital's full list price, also called the chargemaster rate. The cash price is what a self-pay patient is charged. The insured range shows the lowest and highest negotiated rates across insurance plans. For code 74176, St. Vincent's lists a gross charge of $1,749.50 and a cash price of $647.32, about 37% of gross. UF Health Jacksonville lists $6,866.40 gross and $3,776.52 cash, about 55%. UF Health's discount percentage is smaller than St. Vincent's, but its cash price is still higher because the starting gross charge is larger. HCA Orange Park and HCA Memorial list cash prices equal to gross (100%). Patients on high-deductible plans who have not met their deductible owe the negotiated rate, not the gross charge.

Code variations
Code 74176 covers the scan without contrast. Code 74177 covers the scan with contrast, which adds the contrast material and related handling. Cash prices are higher for 74177 at hospitals that list both: $45.78 more at St. Vincent's ($693.10 versus $647.32), $763.22 more at Baptist ($2,681.50 versus $1,918.28), $1,530.93 more at UF Health Jacksonville ($5,307.45 versus $3,776.52), and $728 more at HCA Memorial ($15,409 versus $14,681).

Why CT Scan Prices Vary

Hospital pricing structures
Gross charges for code 74176 range from $1,749.50 at St. Vincent's to $18,083.52 at HCA Orange Park, a gap of more than ten times. Cash prices for the same code range from $647.32 to $18,083.52. The discount percentage differs by system: about 37% of gross at St. Vincent's, 62% at Baptist and Wolfson Children's, 55% at UF Health Jacksonville, and 100% at both HCA hospitals, meaning no cash discount appears in the data. A larger percentage discount does not always produce a lower cash price, because the starting gross charge differs so widely.

Facility type and alternatives
The dataset includes community hospitals, an academic medical center (UF Health Jacksonville), and a children's hospital (Wolfson Children's). Academic medical centers often carry higher overhead tied to teaching and specialty services, though pricing in this dataset does not follow facility type alone. Outpatient or freestanding imaging facilities are not in this dataset and may charge differently. Across all listed hospitals and both codes, cash prices run from $647.32 to $18,083.52.

Paying cash? Health insurance could lower your CT Scan cost.

Published cash prices on this page range from $647.32 to $18,083.52 (including hospitals that publish cash equal to gross charge, marked with * in the table). The lowest insured rate in the price table is $116.62 (Baptist Medical Center Beaches). Insured rates depend on the plan, and the lowest are often Medicaid, CHIP or Medicare Advantage plans, so they may not reflect what a commercial or marketplace plan pays. If you are uninsured, a marketplace health plan could reduce your out-of-pocket cost for this procedure.

What to Do With These CT Scan Prices

Confirm 74176 or 74177 with the ordering office. The two codes on this page differ only by contrast: 74176 is without contrast and 74177 is with contrast. Ask the office that ordered the scan which one it is, then quote that exact code when you call a hospital. Ask for the cash (self-pay) price and an itemized estimate in writing, and ask whether it covers only the hospital's technical charge.

Hold the number up against these rows. Cash prices here run from $647.32 for 74176 at Ascension St. Vincent's Clay County to $5,307.45 for 74177 at UF Health Jacksonville. Two hospitals, HCA Florida Memorial Hospital and HCA Florida Orange Park Hospital, publish cash equal to gross charge, so a quote there matches the full list price. At HCA Florida Memorial Hospital, the 74176 cash price of $14,681 is above every insured rate listed there, up to $13,212.90. If your quote lands near a gross charge, ask whether that is the only cash figure.

Expect the bill to split. This page shows the hospital facility charge only. The radiologist who reads your images bills separately, sometimes from a different company than the hospital.

Check that the code on the facility bill matches the code you were quoted.
Ask whether a separate radiologist bill is expected and who sends it.
Look for contrast supplies listed as extra lines.

What is missing here. Every row on this page has a published cash price and gross charge, so there are no $0 or blank gaps to worry about. Outpatient and freestanding imaging centers are not in this dataset and may price differently.

Financial assistance and discounts. Nonprofit hospitals are required to publish a financial assistance policy, and the billing office can send it with an application. Some hospitals also offer prompt-pay or self-pay discounts; these vary by hospital and are not included in this data. If you are uninsured or not using insurance for scheduled care, you can ask the provider for a good faith estimate before the appointment.

What Patients Ask About CT Scan Costs

How much does a ct scan cost without insurance in Jacksonville?

Cash prices for code 74176 (without contrast) are $647.32 at St. Vincent's, $1,918.28 at Baptist and Wolfson Children's, $3,776.52 at UF Health Jacksonville, $14,681 at HCA Memorial, and $18,083.52 at HCA Orange Park. For code 74177 (with contrast), cash prices are $693.10 at St. Vincent's, $2,681.50 at Baptist and Wolfson Children's, $5,307.45 at UF Health Jacksonville, $11,217.40 at HCA Orange Park, and $15,409 at HCA Memorial. The overall range is $647.32 to $18,083.52. These are facility fees; physician and professional fees are billed separately.

Why is the gross charge so much higher than the cash price?

The gross charge is the chargemaster price, a list price hospitals set for each service. Almost no one pays it. Insurers negotiate lower rates, and self-pay patients are typically offered a cash price. At St. Vincent's, the cash price is about 37% of gross ($647.32 of $1,749.50 for code 74176). At Baptist, it is about 62% ($1,918.28 of $3,094). Baptist's smaller percentage discount still results in a higher cash price than St. Vincent's, because its gross charge starts higher. At the HCA hospitals, cash price equals gross charge in the data.

Does insurance cover a ct scan?

Coverage depends on your plan and whether the scan meets the plan's medical necessity criteria. Negotiated rates vary widely: for code 74176, the lowest listed rate is $116.62 and the highest is $16,275.17, depending on the hospital and payer. Non-emergency scans often require prior authorization from the insurer. If you have a high-deductible plan and have not met your deductible, you owe the negotiated rate for your plan, not the gross charge. Your insurer can confirm your specific rate and cost-sharing.

Are there additional fees beyond the ct scan facility charge?

Yes. The prices listed are facility fees only, covering the scanner, room, and technologist staff. A radiologist, the physician who interprets the images, bills a separate professional fee for reading the scan. If the scan is performed in an emergency department, a separate ER facility fee may also apply. Contrast material handling may also appear as a separate line item depending on the hospital's billing practices. These additional charges are not included in the data above, and dollar amounts for them are not listed here.

What is the cash price for a CT abdomen and pelvis at Baptist Medical Center Jacksonville?

These are facility charges only. Excluding hospitals where cash equals gross, the highest is $5,307.45 at UF Health Jacksonville for 74177.
