Compared with Medicare

$106.81 is Medicare's 2026 national base rate for this service in a hospital outpatient department, including the patient's share and before the local wage adjustment. The median hospital cash price, $292.50 across 1,331 hospitals, is 2.7× that.

Researchers often measure hospital prices as a multiple of Medicare's rate, and it is a concrete number to mention when you ask a hospital for a cash discount. Source: CMS.

What it is

A low-dose CT for lung cancer screening uses a lower amount of radiation to look for early lung cancer in people without symptoms. It is offered to certain adults based on their age and smoking history, usually as a yearly scan.

What the price covers

The hospital price usually covers the low-dose scan. The radiologist's reading may be billed separately, and a shared decision-making visit with a clinician is billed as its own service.

Why prices differ

Some hospitals and imaging centers run self-pay lung screening programs with their own pricing, while others list the scan at their usual CT rates.

What to ask

Ask whether the self-pay price for CPT 71271 includes the radiologist's reading and any follow-up if a nodule is found.
