Before you book a CT scan in Chennai
Computed tomography of head, chest, abdomen or sinuses. Preparation: Contrast CT needs a kidney function report and fasting; plain CT needs no preparation. Ask whether the price includes the radiologist's report, films or a CD, and how long the report takes. Centres on the PM-JAY or CGHS register are marked on the diagnostic centres page.

CT scan in Chennai: FAQs
How much does a CT scan cost in Chennai?
No centre in Chennai has a published CT scan price on record yet. The centres below list ct scan on Google; call for the rate and tell us so the price can be added with its source.
How should I prepare for a CT scan?
Contrast CT needs a kidney function report and fasting; plain CT needs no preparation. Carry the doctor's prescription, previous reports and an ID; most centres need a prescription for scans.
What is the CGHS rate for a CT scan in Chennai?
The CGHS rate list effective 13 October 2025 puts Chennai in tier X; for example CT Scan Head/ Brain-Without Contrast / NCCT Head/Brain is ₹880 at a non-NABH centre and ₹1,035 at an NABH-accredited one. These are the amounts CGHS pays empanelled centres for beneficiaries; for everyone else they are a useful benchmark against the private prices above.
Is a CT scan covered under Ayushman Bharat or CGHS?
PM-JAY covers diagnostics only as part of an admitted treatment package at an empanelled hospital, not as a standalone OPD test. CGHS covers listed investigations at empanelled diagnostic centres at CGHS rates with a prescription. The centres page shows which Chennai centres are on each register.
Where do these prices come from?
Each row is the figure shown on the centre's own website or published rate card on the date read, with the link beside it. Nothing is estimated and no average is shown unless at least three centres publish a price. Prices change; confirm before booking.
