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 New York
New York's multiple localities make a ZIP-level check essential: compare Manhattan, Queens and the outer boroughs, Long Island, the Hudson Valley near Poughkeepsie, and upstate cities like Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, and Albany.

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 New York is priced
New York has one of the most complex locality maps in the country, with around five payment areas: Manhattan is its own locality, Queens is separately priced, the NYC suburbs and Long Island form another high-cost locality, the Poughkeepsie area has its own, and the rest of the state, including Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, and Albany, shares a distinctly lower-priced upstate locality. The spread between Manhattan and upstate adjustments is among the widest within any state. A knee MRI or office visit is approved at meaningfully different amounts in Manhattan, Mineola, and Rochester. Upstate New York prices closer to the Midwest than to the five boroughs.
New York City is a global medical capital with world-famous academic medical centers competing within blocks of each other, while upstate cities each center on their own regional academic hubs. Long Island and the lower Hudson Valley support dense suburban hospital markets of their own. The upstate-downstate divide runs through everything in New York health care, including what providers charge and what patients can access locally.
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?
