Cash or insurance?

At the one hospital here that publishes insurer rates for this code, the cash price is below the highest rate a health plan has negotiated. 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.

This is a standard pregnancy ultrasound through the belly done at 14 weeks or later for one baby. It checks the baby's growth, position, heartbeat, the placenta and amniotic fluid. The detailed anatomy scan around 18 to 22 weeks is often billed under this code or a more detailed one.

What the price covers

The hospital price usually covers the ultrasound exam. The reading by a radiologist or maternal-fetal medicine doctor may be billed separately, and it may or may not be part of a global maternity package.
