What a calcium score costs in District of Columbia

A coronary artery calcium scan — CPT 75571 — is a non-contrast CT of the chest, scored for calcified plaque in the coronary arteries: a few minutes on the table, no contrast dye, no recovery. What the number means, and what it costs nationally.

Of the 7 facilities we track in District of Columbia, we list a price for 2. They run from $99 at MedStar Health Radiology at Lafayette Centre in Washington to $250 (maximum out-of-pocket), with a midpoint of $174.50 — above the $113 midpoint across every state we track.

We list 1 District of Columbia facility at $99 or less.

Most of what we list in District of Columbia belongs to a handful of operators: MedStar Health (3 locations). Prices inside one system are often the same at every site, so if the nearest one is inconvenient, a sister location is usually the same number. Everything we track in District of Columbia so far is in the Washington area.

Insurers generally do not cover it as screening, which is why a cash price exists at all. Ask for the self-pay price by CPT code, and make sure you are not quoted a CT angiogram instead — a different, contrast-based test that costs several times more.
