Nuffield Health’s figure is one operator figure: the median of the guide prices its own hospitals publish for the scan, with the hospital count and the lowest and highest hospital beside it. Its guide price excludes consultant fees, so its basis may differ from a figure an imaging centre states includes the report. The per-hospital figures are on the NHS vs private page.
Reading these prices
- Operators are listed alphabetically within each scan; the order is not a ranking.
- “Starting price” means the operator printed a “from” figure: the floor of its prices, not the price of a particular scan. Starting prices never enter a range.
- A range needs fixed prices from 4 operators for the same scan; the median uses one figure per operator.
- Operators checked: 360 Med, Cobalt Health, Nuffield Health, Practice Plus Group, Scan.com and Vista Health. The full list, including those whose pages could not be read, is on the private scans hub.
CT scan on the NHS
NHS waiting times for a CT scan, beside private hospital prices, are on the CT scan: NHS vs private page.
Prices only. Which scan you need, and whether you need one, is a clinical question for a doctor or the referring clinician. Some operators ask for a referral, or run their own clinical check, before a scan is booked. TreatCompare does not take bookings.
