CT Scan Cost in Port St. Lucie, FL

A CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis is an imaging procedure in which an X-ray tube rotates around the body and detectors record the signal from many angles. A computer assembles those measurements into cross-sectional images of the abdominal and pelvic regions. Two billing codes apply here: HCPCS 74176 (without contrast) and HCPCS 74177 (with contrast, meaning a contrast material is given before or during imaging). The facility fee is the hospital's charge for the scanner room, equipment, and technologist staff. Prices below come from CMS-mandated hospital transparency files. Radiologist fees are billed separately.

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 what a self-pay patient is quoted. The insured range shows the negotiated rates insurers have agreed to pay. At Cleveland Clinic Martin North, the cash price for 74176 is $1,355.25 against a $2,085 gross charge, or 65% of gross. At HCA Florida St. Lucie, the cash price equals the $19,453 gross charge, or 100%. Even with the larger percentage discount, the Cleveland Clinic cash price is far lower in dollars, and the reverse never occurs here: no hospital's deeper discount produces a higher cash price. Patients on high-deductible plans who have not met their deductible owe the negotiated rate, not the gross charge.

Code variations
Code 74176 covers a scan without contrast. Code 74177 covers a scan with contrast, which adds the contrast material and related handling. At Cleveland Clinic Martin North, the cash price rises from $1,355.25 to $2,002, a difference of $646.75. At HCA Lawnwood it rises from $21,409 to $24,040, a difference of $2,631. At HCA St. Lucie it rises from $19,453 to $27,685, a difference of $8,232.

Why CT Scan Prices Vary

Hospital pricing structures
Gross charges for 74176 range from $2,085 at Cleveland Clinic Martin North to $21,409 at HCA Lawnwood, a gap of $19,324. The cash price gap is similar in scale: $1,355.25 versus $21,409, a difference of $20,053.75. The reason is the discount policy. Cleveland Clinic Martin North sets cash prices at about 65% of gross charges for both codes. Both HCA hospitals set cash prices equal to gross, so the full chargemaster rate is the self-pay price. Because the HCA starting gross figures are roughly ten times higher, no discount applies to narrow the difference.

Facility type and alternatives
The three hospitals in this dataset are full-service acute care hospitals, and hospital outpatient departments typically carry overhead that standalone imaging sites do not. Outpatient or freestanding imaging facilities, which are not in this dataset, may charge differently. Cash prices across the hospitals listed run from $1,355.25 to $27,685.

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

Published cash prices on this page range from $1,355.25 to $27,685 (including hospitals that publish cash equal to gross charge, marked with * in the table). The lowest insured rate in the price table is $63.53 (Cleveland Clinic Martin North Hospital). 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, the lowest insured rate is $63.53 (Blue Cross, Cleveland Clinic Martin North) and the highest is $18,197.65 (Multiplan, HCA Lawnwood), a 286-fold difference.

What to Do With These CT Scan Prices

Confirm 74176 versus 74177 before anyone quotes you. The two codes on this page are abdomen and pelvis CT without contrast (74176) and with contrast (74177). Ask the ordering office which one is on the order, then quote that exact code when you ask a hospital for its cash price and an itemized estimate.

Read a quote against these figures. At HCA Florida Lawnwood Hospital the cash price for 74176 is $21,409, the same as its gross charge, while its highest insured rate for that code is $18,197.65. Cleveland Clinic Martin North Hospital lists a cash price of $1,355.25 for 74176, well below its own gross charge. If a quote equals the gross charge, you can ask whether any lower price exists for the same code.

Sort the bills when they arrive. The price here is the hospital (technical) charge only. Check for:

  • The facility fee, matched to the code you were quoted.
  • A separate bill from the radiologist who reads the images.
  • Any contrast supplies or other line items not in your estimate.

Limits of these numbers. Outpatient and freestanding imaging centers are not in this dataset and may price differently. Every row on this page has a published cash price and gross charge, so no $0 or blank values are hiding here.

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 Port St. Lucie?

Self-pay cash prices in Port St. Lucie vary widely. At Cleveland Clinic Martin North, the cash price is $1,355.25 for 74176 (without contrast) and $2,002 for 74177 (with contrast). At HCA Florida St. Lucie, it is $19,453 for 74176 and $27,685 for 74177. At HCA Florida Lawnwood, it is $21,409 for 74176 and $24,040 for 74177. Overall, cash prices range from $1,355.25 to $27,685. Scans with contrast cost more than scans without at every hospital listed. These figures are facility fees only; the radiologist's professional fee is 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 or negotiated rates. Almost no one pays it. At Cleveland Clinic Martin North, the cash price is 65% of gross for both codes ($1,355.25 of $2,085 for 74176; $2,002 of $3,080 for 74177). At HCA St. Lucie and HCA Lawnwood, the cash price is 100% of gross. Notably, the HCA gross charges are so much higher that even without a discount, their cash prices exceed Cleveland Clinic's, which does discount by about 35%.

Does insurance cover a ct scan?

Coverage depends on your plan and whether the scan is considered medically necessary. Negotiated rates vary enormously: for 74176, insured rates range from $63.53 to $18,197.65 across 288 payer rates, and for 74177 from $66.33 to $23,532.25 across 320 rates. Non-emergency scans may 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.

Are there additional fees beyond the ct scan facility charge?

Yes. The prices listed are facility fees, which cover the scanner room, equipment, and technologist staff. The radiologist who reads and interprets the images bills a separate professional fee. If the contrast material is billed separately under certain arrangements, that may also be an additional line item. A scan performed through the emergency department can also carry a separate ER facility fee. These additional charges are not included in the data above, so no dollar amounts are shown here.
