CT Scan Cost in Lakeland-Winter Haven, FL

A CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis is an imaging procedure that uses a rotating X-ray source and a ring of detectors to capture many cross-sectional images of the body between the lower chest and the upper thighs. A computer assembles these slices into detailed pictures of internal structures. The scan is billed under two HCPCS codes: 74176, which is performed without contrast, and 74177, which is performed with contrast material. The facility fee covers the scanner, the room, and the technologists and nursing staff. The prices below come from CMS-mandated hospital price transparency files.

Scope note: These are hospital facility fees only. Standalone imaging centers (not hospitals) often charge significantly less for outpatient imaging but are not covered by the CMS Hospital Price Transparency Rule, so they are not included in this data. We currently track only hospital-published prices.

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 the rate offered to patients paying without insurance. The insured range shows the lowest and highest negotiated rates across insurance plans. At Lakeland Regional, code 74176 has a gross charge of $10,039 and a cash price of $2,008, which is 20% of gross. At Bartow Regional and Winter Haven Hospital, the same code has a gross charge of $5,664.75 and a cash price of $3,398.85, or 60% of gross. Lakeland Regional's larger discount still results in a lower cash price here, but its insured range tops out at $6,933. Patients on high-deductible plans who have not met their deductible owe the negotiated rate, not the gross charge. Code variations Code 74177 includes contrast material and is priced higher than 74176. At Lakeland Regional, the cash price rises from $2,008 to $2,335, a difference of $327. At Bartow Regional and Winter Haven Hospital, it rises from $3,398.85 to $4,531.80, a difference of $1,132.95. At AdventHealth Heart of Florida, it rises from $7,229.61 to $7,450.72, a difference of $221.11.

Why CT Scan Prices Vary

Hospital pricing structures Gross charges for code 74176 range from $5,664.75 at Bartow Regional and Winter Haven Hospital to $17,217.10 at AdventHealth Lake Wales, a gap of $11,552.35. Cash prices for the same code range from $2,008 at Lakeland Regional to $17,217.10 at AdventHealth Lake Wales, a gap of $15,209.10. The cash gap is wider here because the hospitals apply different discount structures. Lakeland Regional discounts its gross charge to 20%, Bartow Regional and Winter Haven Hospital to 60%, and both AdventHealth hospitals list cash prices equal to gross charges, meaning no discount. Facility type and alternatives All five hospitals in this dataset are hospital-based facilities, and hospital outpatient departments bill facility fees that reflect overhead such as emergency readiness and staffing. Academic medical centers often carry additional costs tied to teaching and research. Freestanding imaging centers, which are not in this dataset, operate under different cost structures and may charge differently. Across the hospitals listed, cash prices for these two codes run from $2,008 to $20,319.29, while insured rates run from $132.22 to $7,553.

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

Published cash prices on this page range from $2,008 to $20,319.29 (including hospitals that publish cash equal to gross charge, marked with * in the table). The lowest insured rate in the price table is $132.22 (Bartow Regional Medical Center). 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

Find out which abdomen and pelvis scan was ordered. This page covers two codes: 74176 (without contrast) and 74177 (with contrast). Ask the ordering office for the exact CPT code, then give that code when you ask any hospital for its cash price and an itemized estimate. The contrast answer changes the code, and the code changes the number.

Check cash against insured rates at the same hospital. Cash is not always the lower number here. AdventHealth Heart of Florida lists cash of $7,229.61 for 74176, while its insured rates top out at $586.63. Two of the five hospitals publish cash equal to gross charge, so no discount shows up in their cash figure. At Lakeland Regional Health Medical Center, cash for 74176 is $2,008, well under the top of its insured range of $6,933. If you have insurance, compare a cash quote with what your plan would pay before choosing.

Expect the hospital bill to be only part of it. The prices on this page are the hospital (technical) charge. The radiologist who reads your images usually bills separately, and that bill may not appear in any hospital quote. Check that the facility fee and professional fee are listed as separate lines, and ask whether any other charges, such as contrast materials, are billed apart.

Remember what is not here. Every price row on this page has a published cash price and a gross charge, so none of the figures are blank or $0. But outpatient and freestanding imaging centers are not in this dataset, and they may price the same scan differently. You can ask them for a quote using the same code.

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 Lakeland-Winter Haven?

Cash prices for code 74176 (without contrast) are $2,008 at Lakeland Regional, $3,398.85 at Bartow Regional and Winter Haven Hospital, $7,229.61 at AdventHealth Heart of Florida, and $17,217.10 at AdventHealth Lake Wales. For code 74177 (with contrast), they are $2,335, $4,531.80, $7,450.72, and $20,319.29 at the same hospitals. Overall, cash prices range from $2,008 to $20,319.29. The contrast version costs more at every hospital. These are facility fees only; physician and professional fees are billed separately.

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

The gross charge, or chargemaster price, is a hospital's full list price before any discounts. Almost no one pays it. At Lakeland Regional, cash prices are 20% of gross, so $10,039 becomes $2,008 for code 74176. At Bartow Regional and Winter Haven Hospital, cash prices are 60% of gross, so $5,664.75 becomes $3,398.85. Lakeland Regional's discount is larger, and its cash price is also lower. At both AdventHealth hospitals, cash price equals the gross charge, which means no discount is applied.

Does insurance cover a ct scan?

Coverage depends on the specific plan and on whether the plan considers the scan medically necessary. Non-emergency scans may require prior authorization from the insurer. Negotiated rates vary widely: for code 74176, across 213 payer rates, they range from $132.22 to $6,933. For code 74177, across 243 payer rates, they range from $208.97 to $7,553. Patients on high-deductible plans who have not yet met their deductible owe the negotiated rate for their plan, not the gross charge, until the deductible is satisfied.

Are there additional fees beyond the ct scan facility charge?

Yes. The prices listed are facility fees, which cover the scanner, room, and staff. A radiologist who interprets the images typically bills a separate professional reading fee. Contrast material and related supplies may also be billed separately depending on the hospital's billing practices. If the scan is performed in the emergency department, a separate ER facility fee applies in addition to the imaging charges. Dollar amounts for these additional fees are not included in the hospital price transparency data used on this page.
