What this is
Positron emission tomography imaging, often combined with CT.
What affects the price
Where the scan is done matters most: a hospital outpatient radiology department typically charges more than a freestanding imaging center for the same study, largely because of the facility fee. Comparing the cash prices below across settings can reveal large differences.
Billed under codes 78815, 78816, 78814, 78811, 78812, and others — open any code to compare it on its own.

Highest
Across the 68 hospitals that disclose a cash price for pet scan, the median is $4,060, and half of the disclosed prices fall between $2,320 and $7,663 — about a 3× difference for the same billing code. The full disclosed range runs from $201 to $15,920. At 50% of the hospitals that publish both, the cash price is lower than the midpoint of the disclosed insurance-negotiated rates — so paying cash can sometimes beat using insurance for this service.

PET scan: frequently asked
- How much does pet scan cost at a hospital?
- Across the published hospital price files, disclosed cash prices for pet scan range from $201 to $15,920. This is public hospital price transparency data, not a guaranteed estimate of your bill.
- Will my bill match these prices?
- Actual patient responsibility may vary based on your insurance plan, deductible, coinsurance, network status, diagnosis, setting, bundled services, clinical circumstances, and hospital billing practices.
- What counts as pet scan here?
- We group pet scan by the billing codes hospitals use for it (78815, 78816, 78814, 78811, 78812). Exact services and codes can vary by hospital and clinical situation.
- Why do hospitals show such different prices?
- Hospitals set their own prices and negotiate separately with each insurer, so published prices for the same service can differ widely between hospitals — and between plans at one hospital. Use the comparison to see the range and ask informed questions; a difference does not by itself mean one hospital is better or worse.
- What this page is not
- It is not a quote, a guarantee, or medical advice. It shows what hospitals have published for this category of service. Your actual cost depends on your insurance, the exact services performed, and the care setting — always confirm with the hospital and your plan.
