CT Abdomen Cost in Vermont (2026): Average Prices & What You'll Pay

What does a ct abdomen cost in Vermont?

Expect roughly $565 to $2,554 for a ct abdomen in Vermont if you're commercially insured — that range already folds in both the facility charge and the physician fee. The median reported facility price across 10 hospitals is $1,204. It's built from CMS fee schedules and federally mandated hospital price transparency data.

The same CT Abdomen that costs $100 at Northeastern Vermont Regional Hospital, Inc. in St. Johnsbury reaches $9,799 at University of Vermont Medical Center in Burlington — a 98× gap across the 10 Vermont hospitals reporting prices. A typical Vermont facility lands around $1,204 — most sit in the $399–$2,342 band. Insurers negotiate this down to a median of $101, while self-pay patients are quoted $1,204 — about 11.9× higher, so asking for the cash or insurer-negotiated rate is often the single biggest lever on your bill. Even within Vermont, Brattleboro ($1,204) and Burlington ($3,367) are 2.8× apart on the median price.

The same CT scan costs 3–6× more at a hospital than at an imaging center. Location is the biggest variable — and you can choose.

How prices are distributed across Vermont hospitals:
  • Lower-cost hospitals (bottom 25%): under $399
  • Median hospital: $1,204
  • Higher-cost hospitals (top 30%): $2,342+

That's a 6× spread for the same procedure — driven entirely by which facility you choose, not by clinical complexity.

Worth knowing: Declared gross charges vary significantly across Vermont hospitals — the same procedure can look very different on a hospital's price list versus what you actually owe. Cash and negotiated prices are a more practical guide.
Every hospital in this dataset offers a cash price — with a median of $1,204. If your deductible hasn't been met, always ask for the self-pay rate before scheduling.

What you'll actually pay — example scenarios

Your situation Estimated out-of-pocket
Deductible not yet met (pay in full) ~$1,357
Deductible met — 20% coinsurance ~$271
Out-of-network provider $2,985+

Based on a typical episode cost of $1,357 (facility + physician fees). Your actual cost depends on your plan deductible, coinsurance rate, and network tier. Get YOUR personalized estimate →

What this means for you

If you haven't met your deductible, you are effectively a cash-pay patient.

That means:

  • You should verify your hospital is in-network before an elective visit when possible
  • The cheapest facility can save you $0+ vs. the median.

This is the single biggest lever most patients have to reduce their cost.

Lower-cost options in Vermont start around $399 or below. Most hospitals cluster between $399 and $2,452. A smaller group reports prices above that — often academic medical centers or high-cost markets.

If you're comparing specific hospitals, the lowest self-pay rates reported in this dataset include: Northeastern Vermont Regional Hospital, Inc. in St. Johnsbury (cash price from $399); Brattleboro Memorial Hospital in Brattleboro (cash price from $1,204); Mt. Ascutney Hospital and Health Center in Windsor (cash price from $1,911). These are declared cash prices — contact each facility for a formal quote before scheduling.

Vermont CT Abdomen prices by facility

All prices below come from hospital chargemasters — the official price lists each hospital must publish under federal law. Gross charge is the undiscounted list price; cash price is the self-pay rate; negotiated range covers the spread across insurance contracts.

How we calculate "Your Price" — We prioritize the most actionable price in this order:
  1. Cash price — the self-pay rate you can actually negotiate and pay
  2. Negotiated rate — if reported by the hospital across insurance contracts
  3. Gross charge — fallback only; this is the inflated list price few people pay

This reflects the real prices patients encounter — not inflated chargemaster rates.

# Facility City Your Price vs Median Gross Charge
#1 Brattleboro Memorial Hospital Brattleboro, VT $1,204 +$0 $1,720–$5,901
#2 Central Vermont Medical Center Berlin, VT $2,452 +$1,248 $2,452–$5,873

How to choose a lower-cost facility

  • Choose independent outpatient centers when possible — freestanding ASCs (ambulatory surgical centers) consistently charge less than hospital outpatient departments for identical procedures.
  • Ask for the cash price if your deductible isn't met — self-pay rates are often lower than what insurance pays before your deductible is satisfied, especially at facilities that have a high cash-price discount.
  • Avoid hospital outpatient departments for routine cases — hospital-owned locations add a facility fee that freestanding centers don't charge, often adding $500–$1,500 to the same procedure.
Important: Many procedures are done at ambulatory surgical centers (ASCs) that are often 30–60% cheaper than hospital outpatient departments with the same clinical quality. Most ASCs are not in this hospital dataset — meaning your cheapest option may not even appear here. Ask your doctor if the procedure can be done at a freestanding ASC.

Most expensive ct abdomen providers in Vermont

These facilities report the highest prices for this procedure. Academic medical centers and specialty hospitals often top this list — their gross charges rarely reflect what anyone actually pays, but understanding the spread helps you negotiate.

Facility City Price vs Median
University of Vermont Medical Center Burlington, VT $3,367 +$2,163
Southwestern Vermont Medical Center Bennington, VT $3,000 +$1,796
Central Vermont Medical Center Berlin, VT $2,452 +$1,248
Porter Hospital Middlebury, VT $2,314 +$1,110
Mt. Ascutney Hospital and Health Center Windsor, VT $1,911 +$707

Why prices vary this much

Setting drives much of the gap in Vermont: the median outpatient price is $858 versus $670 inpatient, so where a procedure is performed often matters more than which hospital you choose. Of the Vermont facilities reporting prices, 5 fall in a low-cost tier (up to $399) while 5 sit in a high-cost tier ($2,452 and up) — a lower-priced option almost always exists within the same state.

The spread comes from how each hospital sets its chargemaster (the undiscounted list price), what cash discounts it applies, and what rates it negotiates with each insurer. Facility classification matters too — a hospital-owned outpatient center adds a facility fee that a freestanding clinic does not. Understanding these mechanics is the first step to paying less.

How insurance changes what you actually pay

Hospital list prices are only part of the picture. What you pay out of pocket depends on your deductible, your plan's out-of-pocket maximum, whether the facility is in-network, and whether your plan classifies the visit as outpatient or inpatient. A lower gross charge doesn't guarantee a lower bill if the facility is out-of-network or adds facility fees your plan doesn't cover.

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.

Where You Get a CT Abdomen Matters

Hospital outpatient departments typically charge 2–4× more than ASCs or independent centers for the same procedure — same outcome, very different bill.

Hospital Outpatient Department

Hospital Outpatient Department typically carries a higher price for a ct abdomen. Facility fee billed separately from professional fee. Provider-based billing adds facility overhead. You can shop here — call ahead and ask for a self-pay or cash quote.

Independent Imaging Center

Independent Imaging Center typically carries the lowest typical price for a ct abdomen. Freestanding radiology centers. Technical component billed by center; professional (radiologist read) billed separately. You can shop here — call ahead and ask for a self-pay or cash quote.

Emergency Room CT Abdomen

A CT Abdomen performed in the emergency department can run 2–5× the cost of the identical scan at an outpatient or independent facility, because a hospital facility fee stacks on top. Use the ER only when the situation is medically urgent — it is not a setting where you can shop on price.

CT Abdomen Cost With vs Without Contrast

Which type your doctor orders changes the billing code — and what you pay. Here's how the common types differ.

CT Abdomen Without Contrast

A standard ct abdomen with no contrast dye — the most common and lowest-cost version.

CT Abdomen With Contrast

Uses contrast dye to highlight tissue. The dye and its administration are billed on top of the base scan.

CT Abdomen With and Without Contrast

Two sets of images — before and after contrast — in one visit. It costs more than either alone because both sequences are performed and interpreted.

This Procedure Is Shoppable — Choosing the Right Facility Can Save Thousands

CT Abdomen is elective and schedulable. You have time to compare facilities — and hospital outpatient prices often run 2–4× higher than Hospital OP, Imaging Center for identical clinical outcomes.

How to shop: Ask your doctor for the CPT code, then call 2–3 facilities and request an out-of-pocket cost estimate. Confirm your insurance is accepted. If uninsured, ask for the cash-pay rate — it's usually 20–50% below the list price.

Who performs this: CT Abdomen is typically performed by a Radiology. The specialist's professional fee is billed separately from the facility charge — you will likely receive separate bills from each.
