Calcium score test in Florida

What a calcium score costs in Florida

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 215 facilities we track in Florida, we list a price for 57. They run from $50 at Radiology and Imaging Specialists – Central Office in Lakeland to $541, with a midpoint of $99 — below the $113 midpoint across every state we track. Of the markets where we list 3 or more prices, the cheapest is Fort Lauderdale, with a median of $99.

We list 39 Florida facilities at $99 or less. 3 Florida facilities say they will book a scan without a referral.

Most of what we list in Florida belongs to a handful of operators: SimonMed Imaging (34 locations), Baptist Health South Florida (27 locations), RAYUS Radiology (11 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. Our Florida coverage spans 26 metro areas, deepest in Orlando with 29 facilities.

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.
