Cash or insurance?
At 20 of 21 hospitals that publish insurer rates for this code here, the cash price is below the highest rate a health plan has negotiated, and at 10 it is 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 is a pregnancy ultrasound through the belly in the first trimester, before 14 weeks, for one baby. It confirms the pregnancy is in the uterus, checks the heartbeat, counts babies and estimates the due date.
What the price covers
