Calcium score test in Idaho

What a calcium score costs in Idaho

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 9 facilities we track in Idaho, we list a price for 4. They run from $99 at Portneuf Cardiac Imaging in Pocatello to $149, with a midpoint of $149 — above the $113 midpoint across every state we track. Of the markets where we list 3 or more prices, the cheapest is Boise, with a median of $149.

We list 1 Idaho facility at $99 or less.

Most of what we list in Idaho belongs to a handful of operators: Saint Alphonsus (2 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 Idaho coverage spans 6 metro areas, deepest in Boise with 4 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.
