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.

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 Kansas the office and hospital physician lines for this CPT differ by $195.40.
National vs Kansas
Where Kansas ranks for this CPT
CT Abdomen & Pelvis With Contrast and how Kansas is priced
A single locality covers all of Kansas, with geographic indices in the lower national tier, so the published Medicare rates apply evenly from the Kansas City suburbs to the far western High Plains. Notably, the Kansas side of the Kansas City metro prices under the statewide Kansas locality while the Missouri side has its own metro locality, meaning the two halves of one city carry different approved amounts. Beyond that quirk, Kansas pricing is straightforwardly uniform. Wichita, Topeka, and rural Kansas all share the same adjustments.
The Kansas City metro and Wichita hold most of the state's specialists, with the academic medical center on the Kansas side of the metro serving as the top referral point. Western Kansas is genuinely frontier in places, with long distances to any hospital that performs advanced procedures, and some High Plains residents cross into Colorado or Nebraska for care. Critical access hospitals carry much of the rural load.
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?

CT Abdomen & Pelvis With Contrast in Kansas: questions
Under 2026 Medicare rates, a CT abdomen & pelvis with contrast costs up to about $440 in total at a hospital outpatient department, counting both the physician and the facility (national rates). Outside a hospital, at an independent imaging center, lab or office, Medicare's full rate in Kansas averages $275. Kansas is a single Medicare locality, so the physician rate is the same statewide.
Not on the physician fee schedule. Kansas uses one locality, so the Medicare physician rate is the same from one end of the state to the other. What still changes is site of service (office vs hospital) and any facility fee the hospital bills on its own claim.
After the Part B deductible, coinsurance is usually 20% of the allowed amount: about $55 for the office physician line or $16 for the hospital physician line in Kansas. 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, $275.39 is Medicare's full rate in Kansas, covering the test and the reading. In a hospital outpatient department the physician is paid only for the reading (about $79.99) and the hospital is paid separately, which brings the national total to up to about $440. Kansas ranks #7 of 51 states on the non-hospital rate (8% below the national office rate of $300.27).
