Quick take
- St. Rose Dominican Hospital - San Martin is the lowest-cost option at $118 - $287 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 $405, and it's often lower than what insurance pays before your deductible is satisfied.
- Independent imaging centers often charge much less than hospital outpatient departments for the same scan and may not appear in this hospital-only dataset - ask your doctor whether one is an option.
Nevada's hospital market is heavily concentrated in Las Vegas (dominated by HCA Healthcare, which operates the majority of acute care beds in the valley) and Reno (Renown Health). The Las Vegas market has more facility competition than most metro areas of its size, creating genuine price variation. Rural Nevada is extremely sparse - several counties have no hospital within 100 miles. CT chest pricing is almost entirely driven by site of service - the identical scan costs 3–6× more at a hospital outpatient department than at an independent imaging center. Most commercial payers reimburse at the same negotiated rate regardless of setting, so choosing an independent imaging center captures the full savings without sacrificing clinical quality. For non-urgent scans, calling ahead to compare cash prices across freestanding centers is the single most effective cost lever.

Why prices vary - and what it means for your coverage
A small number of hospitals (3) report prices above $1,179, including Kindred Hospital Las Vegas - Flamingo at $3,541, which drives most of the overall spread - excluding them, most facilities cluster in a much tighter band. Setting matters too: the median outpatient price is $405 versus $405 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.
On top of the facility price, your actual bill depends on your deductible, your out-of-pocket maximum, and whether every provider involved - not just the facility - is in-network.
| Your situation | Estimated out-of-pocket |
|---|---|
| Deductible not yet met | ~$405 |
| Deductible met - 20% coinsurance | ~$81 |
| Out-of-network provider | $891+ |

What matters before you schedule
Imaging center vs. hospital
Hospital outpatient departments typically charge 2-4x more than independent imaging centers for the same ct scan (chest) - 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 scan (chest) changes the billing code, and what you pay. For example: A standard ct scan (chest) with no contrast dye - the most common and lowest-cost version.
This is shoppable
CT Scan (Chest) 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 scan (chest) before you schedule.
