Coronary calcium score cost in Maryland without insurance

In Maryland, the median cash price for Coronary calcium score CT is $82.48 across 12 hospitals, from $19.60 to $129.98. The lowest is at Mercy Medical Center (Baltimore). The US median is $165.00.

Why Maryland prices look low: Maryland is the only state where a commission (the HSCRC) sets hospital rates for every payer, so its hospitals publish prices far below the rest of the country. A separate physician fee may still apply.

Maryland law (Health-General §19-214.1) requires hospitals to give free medically necessary care to patients with family income at or below 200% of the federal poverty level and to cut the bill by 75% up to 250% and 60% up to 300%. With medical debt above 25% of family income in a year, discounts reach up to 500%. Immigration status does not count. Ask the hospital for its financial assistance application. Other states' laws.

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.
