Outpatient: lowest $82.10, median $490.95, highest $1,671.00 — a 20.4× difference within the same market.
Both sides : lowest $265.30, median $389.45, highest $490.95 — a 1.9× 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 13 facilities here, median $1,114.00. Inpatient and outpatient prices are not comparable and are kept on separate pages: the inpatient charge covers admission, not the same purchase.
Cash or insurance?
At 9 of 17 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
This ultrasound looks at organs at the back of the abdomen, most often both kidneys and the bladder, and sometimes the aorta. It is ordered for kidney stones, kidney infection, abnormal kidney tests or blood in the urine.
What the price covers
The hospital price usually covers the complete exam. The radiologist's reading is often billed separately.
12 rows held back from this comparison
They are priced below $1 or below a tenth of the national median for code 76770 ($549.55). Such a line is almost always a physician's fee billed separately, an assistant's share or a placeholder — a real charge, but not the price of the procedure itself.
