If you're paying out of pocket or have a high deductible, the cash price for this scan in Charlotte ranges from about $351 to $2,820 — an eightfold difference. The Atrium Health locations (Pineville, University City, and Carolinas Medical Center) all charge $351 cash, while Novant Health facilities charge $2,820 for the same procedure. If you're uninsured or self-pay, choosing an Atrium location saves you over $2,400. Call your doctor's office to confirm they can send you to one of the cheaper options, or ask your imaging facility directly whether they'll accept the lower price if you schedule elsewhere.

Before you schedule, call the billing department at whichever hospital you choose and confirm the $351 or $2,820 cash price applies to your specific scan — sometimes a contrast CT has add-ons that change the final bill. If cost is your main concern and your doctor hasn't specified which hospital, Atrium Health Pineville has the lowest price and a 3-star rating; Novant's Mint Hill location is pricier but has higher patient satisfaction (81 percent) if quality matters more to you than saving money.
