CT Scan Cost in Nashville, TN

A CT (computed tomography) scan of the abdomen and pelvis uses a rotating X-ray source and detectors to produce cross-sectional images of the lower torso. A computer assembles the images into detailed slices that show organs, blood vessels, and soft tissue. The scan can be performed without contrast (HCPCS 74176) or with contrast (HCPCS 74177), where a contrast agent is given by injection or by mouth to change how structures appear on the images. The facility fee covers the hospital's scanner, room, and technical staff. Prices on this page come from CMS-mandated hospital transparency files.

What These Prices Mean

Understanding the price columns The gross charge is the hospital's full list price, also called the chargemaster price. The cash price is what an uninsured or self-pay patient is quoted. The insured range shows the lowest and highest negotiated rates across insurance plans. For code 74176, TriStar StoneCrest lists a gross charge of $536.50 and a cash price of $536.50, a 100% ratio. Vanderbilt Wilson County lists a gross charge of $5,555 and a cash price of $1,610.95, about 29% of gross. TriStar Horizon lists $20,102.28 for both gross and cash. 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, while 74177 includes contrast material, which adds supplies and additional technical steps. At TriStar StoneCrest, the cash price rises from $536.50 to $1,175, a difference of $638.50. At Ascension Saint Thomas West, it rises from $1,409.82 to $1,692.89, a difference of $283.07. At Nashville General, it rises from $2,190 to $2,908.20, a difference of $718.20.

Why CT Scan Prices Vary

Hospital pricing structures Gross charges for code 74176 range from $536.50 at TriStar StoneCrest to $20,102.28 at TriStar Horizon, a gap of $19,565.78. Cash prices span a smaller gap, from $536.50 to $20,102.28 across all hospitals, but the middle of the range narrows considerably. Several hospitals discount heavily from gross: HighPoint Health Sumner's cash price is about 23% of gross, Vanderbilt Wilson County's about 29%, and Ascension Saint Thomas's about 30%. Maury Regional's is about 41% and Nashville General's about 60%. Ten TriStar hospitals list cash prices equal to gross charges. Facility type and alternatives Academic medical centers, community hospitals, and safety-net hospitals each have different cost structures and payer contracts, which contributes to the spread. Outpatient or freestanding imaging facilities are not included in this dataset and may charge differently. Among the hospitals compared here, cash prices for code 74176 range from $536.50 to $20,102.28, and for code 74177 from $1,175 to $20,102.28.

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

Published cash prices on this page range from $536.50 to $20,102.28 (including hospitals that publish cash equal to gross charge, marked with * in the table). The lowest insured rate in the price table is $80.47 (TriStar StoneCrest 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.

Key finding: For code 74176, payer rates range from $11.55 (Wellpoint Amerivantage Government, Vanderbilt University Medical Center) to $18,494.10 (Beech Street, TriStar Horizon), a difference of roughly 1,600 times.

What to Do With These CT Scan Prices

Quote the CPT code, not just "CT scan." This page covers two codes: 74176 (abdomen and pelvis without contrast) and 74177 (abdomen and pelvis with contrast). Ask the ordering office for the exact CPT code first, including whether the order is with or without contrast, since that changes the code and the price. Then ask the hospital's billing office for its cash price and an itemized estimate under that code.

Compare the quote with both ends of the market. Cash and insured prices do not line up neatly here. At Metro Nashville General Hospital, cash for 74176 is $2,190 while insured rates top out at $366.26. At 8 of the 14 hospitals, including TriStar Horizon Medical Center, the cash price equals the gross charge, so no discount shows. If a quote is far above the insured figures here, you can ask what the price includes.

Facility (technical) fee: the price shown on this page.
Radiologist's professional fee: billed separately for reading the images.
Contrast supplies: check whether they are itemized on their own line.

Expect the bill to arrive in more than one envelope. Check that the code on each bill matches the order, and that the radiologist's group is billed apart from the hospital.

Where this page stops. All 28 price rows have a published cash price, and none has a missing gross charge. 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 Nashville?

Cash prices for code 74176 (without contrast) range from $536.50 at TriStar StoneCrest to $20,102.28 at TriStar Horizon. Other examples include $1,409.82 at Ascension Saint Thomas, $1,564.97 at Maury Regional, $1,610.95 at Vanderbilt Wilson County, $2,190 at Nashville General, and $2,737.01 at HighPoint Health Sumner. Code 74177 (with contrast) ranges from $1,175 at TriStar StoneCrest to $20,102.28 at TriStar Horizon, and generally costs more than 74176 at the same 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 is the hospital's chargemaster price, a full list price that almost no one pays. Insurers negotiate lower rates, and many hospitals offer discounted cash prices. At Vanderbilt Wilson County, the 74176 cash price of $1,610.95 is about 29% of the $5,555 gross charge. At HighPoint Health Sumner, cash is about 23% of gross ($2,737.01 of $11,900.03). Even with that larger percentage discount, HighPoint's cash price is higher than Vanderbilt Wilson County's because its starting gross charge is more than twice as high. At TriStar StoneCrest, cash equals gross.

Does insurance cover a ct scan?

Coverage depends on the specific plan and whether the scan meets the plan's medical necessity criteria. Non-emergency scans may require prior authorization from the insurer. Negotiated rates vary widely: for code 74176, the dataset shows 1,302 payer rates ranging from $11.55 to $18,494.10. 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. Once the deductible is met, coinsurance or copays apply according to the plan's terms.

Are there additional fees beyond the ct scan facility charge?

Yes. The facility fee covers the hospital's scanner, room, and technical staff. A radiologist's fee for reading and interpreting the images is billed separately by the radiology group, and that bill may come from a different entity than the hospital. If the scan is performed in an emergency department, a separate ER facility fee is also billed. Contrast materials may be itemized separately depending on the hospital's billing practices. These additional charges are not included in the prices shown on this page, and dollar amounts for them are not available in the source data.

What is the cash price for a CT abdomen and pelvis at Ascension Saint Thomas West?

Ascension Saint Thomas West publishes a cash price of $1,409.82 for CT Abdomen and Pelvis without Contrast (74176) and $1,692.89 for the version with contrast (74177). Both are facility charges only, and the page shows them at 30% of the gross charge. Professional fees are not included.

What are the lowest and highest published CT scan prices in Nashville?

Across the 14 Nashville hospitals on this page, cash prices run from $536.50 at TriStar StoneCrest Medical Center to $20,102.28 at TriStar Horizon Medical Center, both for code 74176. These are facility charges only. No hospital here has a missing cash price, so none of these figures reflects a blank or $0 entry.

Which Nashville hospitals list the same cash price as their gross charge for a CT scan?

Eight of the 14 hospitals publish cash equal to gross, meaning no self-pay discount is shown: TriStar Centennial, Hendersonville, Horizon, NorthCrest, Skyline, Southern Hills, StoneCrest and Summit Medical Centers. For example, TriStar Centennial Medical Center lists $14,291.60 for 74176. These are facility charges only.

What is the difference between CPT 74176 and 74177 for a CT scan in Nashville?

Code 74176 is CT Abdomen and Pelvis without Contrast, and 74177 is CT Abdomen and Pelvis with Contrast. At Vanderbilt Wilson County Hospital, the cash price is $1,610.95 for 74176 and $2,007.96 for 74177. These are facility charges only and do not include separate professional fees.

What insurance rates does Vanderbilt University Medical Center publish for a CT abdomen and pelvis with contrast?

The page lists 582 published rates for code 74177 at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. They run from $3.55 for Wellpoint Amerivantage Government to $1,869.73 for a BCBS Network S Blue Select plan. The highest is about 527x the lowest. These are facility rates only, and rates vary by plan.
