Notes: "Average time" refers to the median waiting time (the midpoint of all patients' waiting times). References to "doctor" indicate a doctor, nurse practitioner or physician assistant. CMS reports the CT scan quality measure as the percentage of patients who received a scan within 45 minutes. We have reversed that measure so that all measures follow a "lower is better" pattern.

* This is the professional component (PC) only. Additional Technical Charges may apply. PC is the maximum allowable reimbursement amount for that portion of the procedure that is Professional. The total maximum allowable reimbursement should never be more than the Professional & Technical Components combined. Many imaging tests are billed in two parts, one relating to the reading and interpretation of the test results and another related to the use of the equipment at the facility where you have the test performed. On this site lookup currently includes only the charge related to the reading and interpretation of the test results. The lookup tool does not currently estimate charges related to the facility where a test is performed, nor does it include those services where the reading and facility are bundled together into a single "global" charge. We are working to include estimates for these components at a later date.

** The database incorporates the most recent available federal fiscal data which is approximately 2 years behind the current fiscal year.
