Frequently asked questions
How much does a CT scan cost in Salt Lake City without insurance?
Published cash prices for a CT head / brain (without contrast) near Salt Lake City range from $380 to $4,085 across 15 providers.
Can I get a CT scan without a doctor's order?
No. A CT uses ionizing radiation, so every facility requires an order from a licensed provider. Once you have the order, you can choose where to get the scan and ask for the self-pay rate up front.
Why do CT scan prices vary so much in Salt Lake City?
Across the 16 Salt Lake City-area providers we track, the highest published CT scan price is about 11× the lowest. Hospital outpatient departments add facility fees that independent clinics and imaging centers don't charge, and different procedure codes (such as with or without contrast) are priced separately.
Where do these prices come from?
Published prices come from hospital price-transparency files required by the CMS Hospital Price Transparency Rule and from self-pay rates that clinics post or send us. Patient-reported prices are what individual patients told us they actually paid in cash. We show the two separately and never average them together.
