About This Procedure
CT scans combine X-ray images taken from different angles to create cross-sectional views of bones, blood vessels, and soft tissues. Used for diagnosing injuries, diseases, and planning treatments.
Why do these costs look low?
These figures represent Medicaid reimbursement rates — the amounts that state Medicaid programs actually paid providers. Medicaid typically reimburses significantly less than private insurance or out-of-pocket prices. If you have private insurance or are paying cash, expect higher costs. See the cost components below for per-code averages.
