About PET Scan
A PET scan uses a small amount of radioactive tracer to detect cellular activity in the body. It is most commonly used in oncology to detect cancer, determine whether cancer has spread, and monitor treatment effectiveness. PET scans are often combined with CT scans (PET/CT).
Understanding Your Bill
PET scan bills include the radiotracer material, facility/technical fee, and physician interpretation. PET/CT combination scans are more expensive. Prior authorization from insurance is usually required.
How to Save on Your PET Scan
Compare Cash Prices
Cash prices can be 50-80% lower than insurance rates. Always ask for the self-pay price before booking.
Consider Imaging Centers
Freestanding imaging centers often charge much less than hospitals for the same exact scan.
Submit to Insurance
Even if you pay cash, submit a claim. It still counts toward your deductible and out-of-pocket maximum.
