Outpatient: lowest $232.20, median $266.10, highest $974.40 — a 4.2× difference within the same market.

Both sides : lowest $360.00, median $994.28, highest $994.28 — a 2.8× difference within the same market.

The two groups are not comparable and are not averaged together: a price for both sides of the body covers twice the work. Merging them is how a single published "median" ends up far above what one side actually costs.

As an inpatient, the same code is billed by 10 facilities here, median $641.40. Inpatient and outpatient prices are not comparable and are kept on separate pages: the inpatient charge covers admission, not the same purchase.

What it is

A breast ultrasound makes pictures of the inside of the breast with sound waves. The complete exam covers the whole breast and often the nearby armpit. It is often done after a mammogram finding, for a lump, or in dense breasts.

What the price covers

The hospital price usually covers the exam of one breast. The radiologist's reading is often billed separately, and a biopsy, if needed, is billed under different codes.
