What the whole procedure costs
The rate above is the physician’s fee on its own. The facility bills separately, and for most procedures the facility is the larger half of the bill. These are 2026 national Medicare amounts.
Choosing a surgery centre over a hospital saves about $164 on the Medicare allowed amount for ct abdomen & pelvis with contrast. Ask whether your procedure can be done at an ambulatory surgery centre.
Medicare may pay the facility separately for this code or package it into another service on the same day, so treat the facility share as an upper bound. Medicare allowed amounts are not what an uninsured patient is charged, and not a quote. Private plans typically allow more.
Your ZIP in Florida
Because Florida uses multiple localities, check your ZIP code specifically, whether you are in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, Orlando, Tampa Bay, Jacksonville, or the Panhandle.

What these numbers are
Every figure on this page is a 2026 Medicare allowed amount: the physician line comes from the Physician Fee Schedule adjusted by geographic practice-cost indices, and the facility totals come from the CMS hospital outpatient (OPPS) and ambulatory surgery centre rates. None of them is a hospital chargemaster price, your insurer's contracted rate, or a quote. Anesthesia, pathology, imaging reads and follow-up care are billed under their own codes when they apply, and an inpatient stay is paid a different way again.

CT Abdomen & Pelvis With Contrast and how Florida is priced
Florida is split into a handful of Medicare payment localities rather than priced statewide: Miami carries its own high-cost locality, the Fort Lauderdale area is separately priced, and the remainder of the state, from Jacksonville to the Panhandle, shares rest-of-state pricing. That structure means South Florida procedures carry higher Medicare-approved amounts than identical care in Orlando, Tampa, or rural North Florida. The Miami locality in particular ranks among the more expensive in the eastern United States. For a state with this many Medicare beneficiaries, knowing which locality your ZIP falls in is genuinely useful.
Florida has the nation's most Medicare-driven health economy, and its markets are intensely competitive in the big retiree corridors along both coasts. South Florida is known for high utilization and a dense supply of specialists, while inland and Panhandle counties can be thin on subspecialty care. Seasonal residents should note that prices follow where care is delivered, so a winter procedure in Naples prices differently than one back home up north.
This procedure: This CT scans the abdomen and pelvis with IV iodine contrast, the workhorse test for unexplained abdominal pain, suspected appendicitis or diverticulitis, infections, and cancer staging. The dye highlights organs, bowel, and blood vessels that blend together without it. An IV is placed, the dye produces a brief hot flush, and scanning takes seconds; plan on 30 to 45 minutes total, sometimes longer if oral contrast drink is required beforehand.
What Is CT Abdomen & Pelvis With Contrast?
This CT scans the abdomen and pelvis with IV iodine contrast, the workhorse test for unexplained abdominal pain, suspected appendicitis or diverticulitis, infections, and cancer staging. The dye highlights organs, bowel, and blood vessels that blend together without it. An IV is placed, the dye produces a brief hot flush, and scanning takes seconds; plan on 30 to 45 minutes total, sometimes longer if oral contrast drink is required beforehand.
What Affects the Cost
- –IV contrast adds a supply charge, and facilities that also use oral contrast add preparation time though the drink itself is inexpensive.
- –A kidney function lab test may be required before dye in at-risk patients.
- –This is a staple ER scan, and emergency facility pricing multiplies the cost relative to a scheduled study.
- –Cancer staging and surveillance mean repeated scans on a schedule, so per-scan price differences compound over the years.
- –The professional reading fee covering two body regions bills separately at hospitals.
Questions to Ask Before Booking
- 1.Does my authorization specify the with-contrast combined abdomen-pelvis study?
- 2.Will I need oral contrast too, and does it add time or charges?
- 3.Do I need kidney function labs first, and who bills those?
- 4.If this is part of ongoing cancer surveillance, what does each scan cost at my current facility versus an independent center?
- 5.Is the radiologist fee inside or outside the quoted price?

Yes. CMS splits Florida into 3 payment localities. For this CPT the office physician fee spans $24.58 from the lowest to highest locality. Because Florida uses multiple localities, check your ZIP code specifically, whether you are in Miami, Fort Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, Orlando, Tampa Bay, Jacksonville, or the Panhandle.
After the Part B deductible, coinsurance is usually 20% of the allowed amount: about $61 for the office physician line or $61 for the hospital physician line in Florida. Medigap may cover that 20%. This is not the hospital facility fee.
No. $305.17 is only the physician's share. Adding Medicare's facility payment brings the total to about $657 in a hospital outpatient department, or about $493 at an ambulatory surgery centre. Anesthesia, pathology and other codes billed the same day are extra. Florida ranks #38 of 51 states on the physician line (within 2% of the national office rate of $300.27).
