I need to get a ct scan of my brain with contrast. I was told by my insurance company that they will not cover because it is pre-existing. Why do i have insurance again? Anyway, i will go through the insurance company and will end up with the bill. How much does a typical ct scan of the brain cost?

I work at a free standing imaging center in Northern California. We charge $1250 for a brain CT with contrast. But, prices will vary greatly, not only from state to state but within the same region. The hospital in the same town I work in charges almost double what we do. I would definately call around and price quotes or estimates. If you call a hospital, make sure you get both fees. There is a professional fee (which the radiologist charges for reading your study) and a technical fee (the cost of performing the study). Many free standing imaging centers incorporate this into one fee, but be sure to ask.
You are preaching to the choir regarding health insurance! I feel for you......Best wishes....
