What the whole procedure costs
The office rate above is what an imaging center, lab or office is paid for the whole test. In a hospital, the facility bills its own fee and the physician bills only the reading. These are 2026 national Medicare amounts.
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. For a test like this the physician in a hospital bills only the reading (the professional component); outside a hospital one global fee covers the whole test, shown in the office rate above. 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 center 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. In Florida the office and hospital physician lines for this CPT differ by $104.18.

CT Abdomen & Pelvis Without 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: A CT of the abdomen and pelvis without contrast scans everything from the diaphragm to the hips in one pass lasting seconds on the table. The non-contrast version is the standard test for suspected kidney stones, where dye is unnecessary because stones show up brightly on their own. You lie on the scanner table, hold your breath briefly, and the entire appointment takes about 15 minutes with no IV and no preparation.

What Affects the Cost
- –Emergency department pricing for this scan, where it is often ordered for belly pain, towers over scheduled outpatient rates.
- –Freestanding imaging centers offer the same combined study at a fraction of hospital charges.
- –If the clinical question needs contrast, the study becomes 74177 with dye and administration charges added.
- –Kidney stone patients often get repeat scans across episodes, and the costs accumulate with each recurrence.
- –The radiologist fee for reading two body regions is billed separately at many facilities.
Questions to Ask Before Booking
- 1.Is my situation urgent enough for the ER, or can this be scheduled outpatient at a much lower price?
- 2.Has prior authorization been obtained if this is scheduled?
- 3.Am I being billed the combined abdomen-pelvis code rather than two separate scans?
- 4.For recurring stones, could ultrasound or a low-dose protocol work for follow-ups?
- 5.What is the total including the radiologist reading at your facility versus an imaging center?

After the Part B deductible, coinsurance is usually 20% of the allowed amount: about $37 for the office physician line or $17 for the hospital physician line in Florida. Medigap may cover that 20%. This is not the hospital facility fee.
It depends on where the test is done. At an independent imaging center, lab or office, $186.92 is Medicare's full rate in Florida, covering the test and the reading. In a hospital outpatient department the physician is paid only for the reading (about $82.74) and the hospital is paid separately, which brings the national total to up to about $324. Florida ranks #38 of 51 states on the non-hospital rate (2% above the national office rate of $183.04).
