Navigating CT scan costs in Connecticut for surgical planning requires careful consideration. For example, a Chest CT scan in Hartford averages $749 across 21 providers. If you need a CT scan with and without contrast, MDsave offers options ranging from $466 to $886. Notably, UConn Health Imaging in Farmington provides self-pay options for uninsured patients.
