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

The gross charge is a list price that few patients actually pay, set before discounts and negotiated rates. At Tallahassee Memorial Hospital, the cash price is 70% of gross for both codes, so the self-pay quote is noticeably lower than the list price: $3,924.24 versus $5,606.06 for 74176. At HCA Florida Capital Hospital, the cash price is 100% of gross, meaning no self-pay discount is published and the cash price matches the gross charge at $9,529.05 for 74176 and $10,625.60 for 74177. Gross charges mainly serve as a starting point in the hospital's price files.

Does insurance cover a ct scan?

Whether insurance covers a CT scan depends on the specific plan, so the plan's own documents or the insurer are the places to confirm. The price files show negotiated rates that differ by insurer. At Tallahassee Memorial Hospital, insured rates for 74176 run from $249.17 to $3,170.21. At HCA Florida Capital Hospital, rates for 74177 run from $828.27 to $10,762.10. If you have a high-deductible plan and have not met your deductible, you usually pay the plan's negotiated rate for the facility charge until the deductible is met.

Are there additional fees beyond the ct scan facility charge?

Yes. The facility charge covers the hospital's equipment, staff and supplies, but other bills often come separately. A radiologist typically bills a professional fee for interpreting the images. An emergency department or physician visit may carry its own charges if the scan is part of a larger encounter. Separate bills may also appear for other services performed the same day, such as lab work or anesthesia if used. Itemized statements list each charge, and the hospital's billing office can explain which items are facility fees and which are professional fees.
