The average cost of a basic PET scan is between $3,000 - $6,000 and most insurance companies pay for clinically indicated PET procedures. To be clinically indicated, the PET scan must be potentially beneficial in providing information supportive of a diagnosis or monitoring certain conditions, and be considered medically necessary.
Many insurance companies have coverage policies for certain clinical situations where PET scans have been proven to be useful. If there are any questions, your physician's office will work with the PET coordinator to determine if the PET scan is covered by your insurance company.
Since PET is a growing field, the published data sometimes lags behind coverage policies. The indication may be covered, even if it is not on the standard coverage list. Therefore, it is important that your insurance company is contacted to determine your eligibility. Please contact us for additional information on payment.
