Showing rates UnitedHealthcare has negotiated. Ranges cover that insurer's different plans at the same hospital.

CT scan of the head
A cross-sectional X-ray scan of the head, without contrast dye. Common after a head injury or for sudden severe headache.
Sorted cheapest first. A published figure that behaves like a placeholder rather than a real price — one cent, or a figure orders of magnitude below what other hospitals publish for the same billing code — never leads this order. It stays listed, after every other figure, ordered by its own amount among the others like it.
Nothing was excluded: none of the figures published here behave like a placeholder rather than a price.
Why a range? One insurer publishes different rates for different plans at the same hospital — a PPO and an HMO under the same name can differ several times over. We show what the hospital published rather than collapsing it into a single number that might not be yours.
