Calcium score test in Mississippi

What a calcium score costs in Mississippi

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 17 facilities we track in Mississippi, we list a price for 9. They run from $99 at Baptist Heart – Colonnades Outpatient Cardiovascular Diagnostics in Jackson to $100, with a midpoint of $100 — below the $113 midpoint across every state we track. Of the markets where we list 3 or more prices, the cheapest is Jackson, with a median of $99.

We list 4 Mississippi facilities at $99 or less.

Most of what we list in Mississippi belongs to a handful of operators: Singing River Health System (5 locations), Baptist Memorial Health Care (3 locations), Baptist Heart / Mississippi Baptist Medical Center (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 Mississippi coverage spans 8 metro areas, deepest in Jackson with 5 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.
