About CT Scan Upper Extremity Without Contrast
CPT code 73200 refers to ct scan upper extremity without contrast (billing description: "Ct upper extremity w/o dye"). Under the 2026 Medicare Physician Fee Schedule, it is reimbursed at $161 in a facility (hospital or surgery center) and $161 in a doctor's office.
The Medicare rate is the closest thing to an objective "what this work is actually worth." A fair cash price for the uninsured is generally 1.5–3x that rate. Hospital sticker (gross) charges are often far higher — but almost nobody actually pays them.
