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 $141 on the Medicare allowed amount for ct abdomen & pelvis without 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.

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.
National vs Minnesota
Where Minnesota ranks for this CPT
CT Abdomen & Pelvis Without Contrast and how Minnesota is priced
Minnesota's physician fees are set through a small number of Medicare payment localities rather than a single statewide one, distinguishing the Twin Cities region from the rest of the state. Geographic adjustments in the metro run higher than in greater Minnesota, though the gap is modest by coastal standards. The state is otherwise notable for how its practice patterns, historically efficient and integrated, have featured in national Medicare policy debates. From Duluth to Worthington, non-metro Minnesota prices off common lower-cost factors.
The Twin Cities host a dense, integrated medical market, and Rochester is home to one of the most famous referral centers in the world, drawing patients from every state and abroad. Greater Minnesota relies on regional hubs like Duluth, St. Cloud, and Mankato, with long winter drives a real factor in care planning. Minnesota's tradition of integrated group practice tends to make billing more coordinated than in many states.
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?

CT Abdomen & Pelvis Without Contrast in Minnesota: questions
Minnesota is a single Medicare locality for this fee schedule. The 2026 physician rate for CPT 74176 is $184.01 in an office and $184.01 in a hospital, statewide. A ZIP lookup still confirms the locality mapping.
Not on the physician fee schedule. Minnesota 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 $37 for the office physician line or $37 for the hospital physician line in Minnesota. Medigap may cover that 20%. This is not the hospital facility fee.
No. $184.01 is only the physician's share. Adding Medicare's facility payment brings the total to about $427 in a hospital outpatient department, or about $286 at an ambulatory surgery centre. Anesthesia, pathology and other codes billed the same day are extra. Minnesota ranks #37 of 51 states on the physician line (within 2% of the national office rate of $183.04).
