Cash or insurance?

At 2 of 2 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 complete abdominal ultrasound uses sound waves to make pictures of the organs in the upper belly, including the liver, gallbladder, bile ducts, pancreas, spleen, kidneys and the abdominal aorta. It is often used for pain, gallstones or abnormal liver tests. It uses no radiation.

What the price covers

The hospital price usually covers the ultrasound exam done by a sonographer. The radiologist's reading is often billed separately.
