Cash or insurance?
At 4 of 4 hospitals that publish insurer rates for this code here, the cash price is below the highest rate a health plan has negotiated, and at none is it below every plan's rate. If you have insurance but have not met your deductible, you usually pay your plan's negotiated rate, which falls somewhere in the "Insurers pay" column. Paying cash can cost less, but a cash payment usually does not count toward your deductible. Ask the hospital for both numbers before you book.
What it is
A CT scan of the pelvis with contrast uses X-rays and an injected iodine dye to make detailed pictures of the pelvic organs, bones and blood vessels. It may be used to look for causes of pelvic pain, masses or infection.
What the price covers
The hospital price usually covers the scan. The radiologist's reading is often billed separately, and the contrast dye may be listed as a separate pharmacy charge.
