How Much Does A CT Scan Cost?

How Much Does A CT Scan Cost?
August 24, 2022CT Scan Cost

There are couple of factors that influence the cost of a CT scan. It can be frustrating for a patient when a CT scan’s cost varies when looking at different diagnostic imaging centers or scans you had previously in the past. The best way to understand the cost fluctuations is by familiarizing yourself with the drivers of the cost. Here is what you should know.

The Cost Breakdown Of A CT Scan

When you see the cost of a CT scan, you should understand that the cost is broken down into two parts. These two parts are the technical fees and professional fees. Technical fees are associated with the technology. These fees include the cost of the equipment and the maintenance on the equipment. The maintenance of CT scan equipment is important, so no delays or image quality drop offs occur.

Professional fees are considered as the cost of the people who carry out the scan and analyze the results. These fees include the wages of radiologists and technologists. Radiologists who sub specialize in a particular area such as neuroradiology and the technologists who support them are critical to the process of any diagnostic imaging scan.

Lastly, there are indirect costs that are factored into the cost of a CT scan. These indirect costs are called overhead. Overhead fees refer certain expenses such as the cost of the utility bills for the facility, lease expenses for the facility, and administrative efforts. Overhead fees are associated with the costs required to run the facility where the scan is being conducted.

What Is The Average Cost Of A CT Scan?

It can be quite difficult to pinpoint an average cost for a CT scan. The cost of a CT scan varies heavily based on the facility, location, and financial factors such as insurance coverage of an individual patient. Generally, you can expect to see the cost of a CT scan in the range of $270.00 – $5,000.

If you are trying to save money on your next scan, it is okay and encouraged to get quotes from a few different diagnostic imaging centers. You shouldn’t feel like you must take your doctor’s recommendation. The goal is to identify the best course of action for you. If cost is important, there are many options for you.

As your search begins, you may notice that university hospitals and research facilities may charge higher prices based on their name value alone. A CT scan is one of the most common types of diagnostic imaging scans around. A university hospital or research facility offers very little advantages over another diagnostic imaging facility in the realm of CT scans. Select the option that is affordable for you.
