Needs an order from a licensed clinician. The AI doctor can help sort out whether a scan makes sense and route you to a clinician who can order it. The scan is done at an imaging center.
Good to know
It uses no radiation. Sudden severe belly or back pain, especially with dizziness, means call 911.

Common questions
How much does an AAA screening cost without insurance?
About $105.88 using Medicare’s national non-facility amount for this scan, the public benchmark for a cash price (2026 (October release)). An imaging center may add its own facility or reading fee. The real price depends on where you go.
Why is this a Medicare price?
Medicare publishes national rates for every billing code. They are a public, checkable benchmark, so we use them instead of guessing. Cash prices at a given lab, center or clinic can be higher or lower.
Do I need an order for this scan?
Most imaging centers need an order from a licensed clinician. Chest pain, sudden weakness or trouble speaking means call 911, not a scheduled scan.
Is this Pymander’s price?
No. It is a public outside benchmark that Pymander does not set. Ask for the exact price before you book.
