Quick take
- University of Vermont Medical Center is the lowest-cost option at $254 - $950 below the state median, just by choosing where you go.
- Ask for the cash price if your deductible isn't met - the median cash price here is $1,204, and it's often lower than what insurance pays before your deductible is satisfied.
- This dataset covers hospitals only - freestanding ASCs, which routinely run 30-60% cheaper for the same procedure, aren't included, so it's worth asking your doctor whether one is an option.

The University of Vermont Health Network effectively dominates Vermont's hospital market, with limited competitive alternatives statewide. Vermont's all-payer ACO model and its history of near-single-payer reform have created a more price-regulated environment than most states. Prices here are relatively compressed compared to New England neighbors, but not dramatically below the regional average. Abdominal CT pricing follows the same site-of-service pattern as other imaging: the identical scan costs 3–6× more at a hospital outpatient department than at an independent imaging center. With contrast vs. without contrast are different CPT codes and different prices, so confirm which your doctor ordered before scheduling. If ordered non-urgently, calling ahead to compare cash prices across independent imaging centers near you is the single most effective cost reduction strategy.

Why prices vary - and what it means for your coverage
Setting matters too: the median outpatient price is $858 versus $670 inpatient, so where a procedure happens often matters more than which hospital you pick. Whether the scan happens in a hospital outpatient department (which adds a separate facility fee) or a freestanding imaging center is usually the single biggest driver of price for this procedure.
None of the prices above are what you'll necessarily owe: your deductible, out-of-pocket maximum, and each provider's network status all still apply.
| Your situation | Estimated out-of-pocket |
|---|---|
| Deductible not yet met | ~$1,357 |
| Deductible met - 20% coinsurance | ~$271 |
| Out-of-network provider | $2,985+ |
Frequently asked questions: CT Abdomen costs in Vermont
How much does a CT Abdomen cost in Vermont?
Across 10 Vermont hospitals that publish prices, a CT Abdomen ranges from $100 to $9,799, with a median of $1,204. Most facilities fall between $399 and $2,342. What you pay depends on the facility, your insurance, and whether you have met your deductible.
Where is the cheapest place to get a CT Abdomen in Vermont?
Based on declared prices, the lowest-cost facility in our Vermont data is Northeastern Vermont Regional Hospital, Inc. in St. Johnsbury at about $399. By metro, Brattleboro has the lowest median ($1,204). Freestanding ambulatory surgery and imaging centers are often cheaper still and may not appear in hospital price data - ask your doctor whether one is an option.
Why is a CT Abdomen so much cheaper at some Vermont hospitals?
Prices vary up to 98× because each hospital sets its own list price, cash discount, and insurer-negotiated rates. In Vermont, the median cash (self-pay) price is $1,204 versus a median negotiated rate of $101 - about 11.9× higher. Asking for the cash price or your insurer's negotiated rate is often the single biggest lever on what you pay.
How much will I actually pay out of pocket for a CT Abdomen in Vermont?
Your out-of-pocket cost depends on your deductible, coinsurance, out-of-pocket maximum, and whether the facility is in-network - not just the sticker price. If you have not met your deductible, you will typically pay the negotiated rate in full until you do. Use the CostKits cost forecaster to estimate your specific out-of-pocket amount before you go.

What matters before you schedule
ASC vs. hospital
Hospital outpatient departments typically charge 2-4x more than ASCs or independent centers for the same ct abdomen - same outcome, very different bill. The ER charges the most of any setting and should only be used when the situation is medically urgent. Call ahead and ask for a self-pay or cash quote at each setting you're considering.
With vs. without contrast
Which type your doctor orders for this ct abdomen changes the billing code, and what you pay. For example: A standard ct abdomen with no contrast dye - the most common and lowest-cost version.
This is shoppable
CT Abdomen is elective and schedulable, so you have time to compare facilities before booking - hospital outpatient prices often run 2-4x higher than alternative settings for the identical clinical outcome.
What to ask before you book
Get the CPT code from your doctor, confirm every provider involved (not just the facility) is in-network, ask for the cash-pay rate if you're uninsured or haven't met your deductible, and request a written estimate for ct abdomen before you schedule.
