Intermountain Health dominates the Utah market with over 50% of acute care beds and its own insurance arm, SelectHealth. If you're covered by SelectHealth, the posted prices here may not apply. For commercial patients not using Intermountain-affiliated plans, prices in Utah's urban Wasatch Front markets run below the Mountain West average. 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 (2) report prices above $3,040, including BRIGHAM CITY COMMUNITY HOSPITAL at $3,997, 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 $110 versus $1,582 inpatient (about 14.4× more), 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.

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 Chest in Utah?

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.
