INTEGRIS Health and Mercy (Oklahoma City) and Saint Francis Health System (Tulsa) are the primary players in Oklahoma's two major metro markets. Oklahoma has consistently high uninsured rates, and Medicaid reimbursement has historically been among the lowest in the country, both of which create upward pressure on commercial list prices. Head CT pricing follows the site-of-service pattern of other imaging, but emergency use dominates - most head CTs are ordered in emergency rooms, where facility fees can add $1,000–$3,000 on top of the imaging charge. Planned outpatient head CTs for follow-up or surveillance at independent imaging centers cost a fraction of the ER equivalent. If your order is non-urgent, ask your doctor for an outpatient referral to a freestanding imaging center.

Why prices vary - and what it means for your coverage

A small number of hospitals (8) report prices above $2,428, including Cornerstone Specialty Hospitals Muskogee at $5,695, 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 $450 versus $883 inpatient (about 2× 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.

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.
