A coronary calcium score is a quick CT scan of the heart, without contrast dye, that measures calcium in the heart's arteries. It is used to estimate the risk of heart disease in people without symptoms. Many insurers do not cover it, so imaging centers often set a flat self-pay price. A coronary CT angiography (75574) uses contrast dye to show the arteries themselves and costs more. If you have chest pain right now, call 911 instead of scheduling a scan.
