Inpatient: lowest $288.00, median $464.75, highest $551.20 — a 1.9× difference within the same market.

Both sides : lowest $513.00, median $513.00, highest $513.00.

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 outpatient, the same code is billed by 16 facilities here, median $464.75 — that is the price to compare if you are not being admitted.

Cash or insurance?

At 7 of 7 hospitals that publish insurer rates for this code here, the cash price is below the highest rate a health plan has negotiated, and at none is it below every plan's rate. If you have insurance but have not met your deductible, you usually pay your plan's negotiated rate, which falls somewhere in the "Insurers pay" column. Paying cash can cost less, but a cash payment usually does not count toward your deductible. Ask the hospital for both numbers before you book.

What it is

A limited breast ultrasound looks at one breast or one area, usually a lump or a finding on a mammogram.
