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 abdominal ultrasound looks at one organ or one part of the belly instead of the whole abdomen. It is often used to check the gallbladder for stones, or the liver, or to follow up an earlier finding.
What the price covers
The hospital price usually covers the exam itself. The radiologist's reading is often billed separately.
