What does a ct scan cost in New Hampshire?

Expect roughly $207 to $414 for a ct scan in New Hampshire if you're commercially insured — that range already folds in both the facility charge and the physician fee. The median reported facility price across 20 hospitals is $114. It's built from CMS fee schedules and federally mandated hospital price transparency data.

The same CT Scan that costs $100 at Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital in Lebanon reaches $23,918 at PORTSMOUTH REGIONAL HOSPITAL in Portsmouth — a 239.2× gap across the 20 New Hampshire hospitals reporting prices. A typical New Hampshire facility lands around $114 — most sit in the $109–$214 band. Self-pay patients are quoted more than insurers actually pay: the median cash price is $114 versus a median negotiated rate of $113. Where you go inside New Hampshire counts as much as which plan you have: North Conway's median ($1,208) runs 23.7× Lebanon's ($51).

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.

Worth knowing: A small number of hospitals report very high prices above $476, which pulls the overall range wider than what most patients encounter. The typical range above is a better guide for planning.

Every hospital in this dataset offers a cash price — with a median of $114. 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)	~$258
Deductible met — 20% coinsurance	~$52

New Hampshire CT Scan 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:

Cash price — the self-pay rate you can actually negotiate and pay
Negotiated rate — if reported by the hospital across insurance contracts
Gross charge — fallback only; this is the inflated list price few people pay

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

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 scan providers in New Hampshire

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
Weeks Medical Center	Lancaster, NH	$1,308	+$1,194
MaineHealth	North Conway, NH	$1,208	+$1,094
Huggins Hospital	Wolfeboro, NH	$932	+$818
Speare Memorial Hospital	Plymouth, NH	$316	+$202
CATHOLIC MEDICAL CENTER	Manchester, NH	$260	+$146

Why prices vary this much

A small number of hospitals (5) report very high prices above $476, which drives much of the overall price range. Excluding these, most facilities cluster in a significantly tighter band.

Setting drives much of the gap in New Hampshire: the median outpatient price is $114 versus $214 inpatient — about 1.9× more, so where a procedure is performed often matters more than which hospital you choose. Of the New Hampshire facilities reporting prices, 7 fall in a low-cost tier (up to $109) while 7 sit in a high-cost tier ($256 and up) — a lower-priced option almost always exists within the same state.

Among the cities with the most reporting hospitals, North Conway has a median reported price of $1,208 across 3 facilities, while facilities in Lebanon tend to report lower prices (median: $51). City-level variation within a state often reflects local market structure, not procedure complexity.

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 Scan costs in New Hampshire

How much does a CT Scan cost in New Hampshire?

Across 20 New Hampshire hospitals that publish prices, a CT Scan ranges from $100 to $23,918, with a median of $114. Most facilities fall between $109 and $214. 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 Scan in New Hampshire?

Based on declared prices, the lowest-cost facility in our New Hampshire data is Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital in Lebanon at about $51. By metro, Lebanon has the lowest median ($51). 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 Scan so much cheaper at some New Hampshire hospitals?

Prices vary up to 239.2× because each hospital sets its own list price, cash discount, and insurer-negotiated rates. In New Hampshire, the median cash (self-pay) price is $114 versus a median negotiated rate of $113 — about 1× 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 Scan in New Hampshire?

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.
