Calcium score test in Kansas

What a calcium score costs in Kansas

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 12 facilities we track in Kansas, we list a price for 7. They run from $45 at The University of Kansas Health System — Bell Hospital Tower Imaging in Kansas City to $99, with a midpoint of $50 — below the $113 midpoint across every state we track. Of the markets where we list 3 or more prices, the cheapest is Kansas City, with a median of $50.

We list 7 Kansas facilities at $99 or less. 1 Kansas facility says it will book a scan without a referral.

Most of what we list in Kansas belongs to a handful of operators: The University of Kansas Health System (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. Our Kansas coverage spans 4 metro areas, deepest in Kansas City with 7 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.
