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 Wisconsin
Where Wisconsin ranks for this CPT
CT Abdomen & Pelvis Without Contrast and how Wisconsin is priced
Wisconsin's Medicare pricing runs through a single statewide locality with indices near the national average, so Milwaukee, Madison, and the Northwoods share the same approved amounts. The unified locality sits atop one of the more regionally organized care systems in the country, with strong integrated groups serving defined territories. No metro premium exists in the fee schedule, so Milwaukee's higher practice costs are averaged into the statewide factors. The published rates here travel unchanged across all seventy-two counties.
Milwaukee and Madison hold the state's academic medicine and largest systems, while integrated clinics in Marshfield, La Crosse, and the Fox Valley have long histories of serving rural Wisconsin through hub-and-spoke networks. The far north is lake and forest country where specialty care means a long drive south, and some western residents use Twin Cities or Rochester, Minnesota providers. Wisconsin's tradition of clinic-based integrated care tends to keep billing relatively coordinated.
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 Wisconsin: questions
Wisconsin is a single Medicare locality for this fee schedule. The 2026 physician rate for CPT 74176 is $175.35 in an office and $175.35 in a hospital, statewide. A ZIP lookup still confirms the locality mapping.
Not on the physician fee schedule. Wisconsin 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 $35 for the office physician line or $35 for the hospital physician line in Wisconsin. Medigap may cover that 20%. This is not the hospital facility fee.
No. $175.35 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. Wisconsin ranks #20 of 51 states on the physician line (4% below the national office rate of $183.04).
