How much does patient pay for PET scan or PET/CT scan in united state without insurance ?

I have PET scans regularly since I was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma. The bill before insurance covered it was about $4,100 or so. Usually bills to the insurance are higher than bills to uninsured patients. CT scans will run a couple hundred dollars and up depending on how much of your body you have scanned. This is in California, and I know things are kind of pricey here compared to other states. If your doctor suspects cancer, if you have cancer, or if you are in remission from cancer, these scans are very important, they can save your life!
